He is gorgeous. Loving the blue eyes!

 

[Heykid]

That's amazing looking! I like how he looks kinda grumpy

At the risk of sounding like a moron, what is he exactly?

Bah dont worry about sounding like a moron, because you dont! Really!
Better to ask, than not

Hes a Bullsnake, a whitesided morph. and are one of the coolest colubrids around * i think!* There are a couple others in the "pituophis" group, and they are Pine snakes, Gopher snakes as well as the Bulls. I THINK ( someone correct me if im wrong) there is one more kind.. but its not seen very often. It could just be a specific locale of one of the above though. Harald would know better than me, * They were the ones a girl on here had posted awhile ago harald, i commented about wanting them because i had never seen them before, do you remember what im talking about?*

I highly recommend them, you definitely would not be dissapointed! They look mean, and can have a tude, but theyre mostly bluff, and just like to hiss and show off. Harald's got some pretty great bite shots though here too... Check out the rest of the forum this thread is in, i think youll find them to be pretty interesting snakes!

The ones you are referring to, Alicia, have several different names
I've seen them called (in print) Middle American gophers, Cope's gophers, Cincuate bulls, Cincuate pines, and Mexican lined pines.
(Pituophis lineaticollis)

I thought he looked familiar! I picked up a piece of cardboard at a lake one time and found a rather large bullsnake staring at me! I love the way they look, their eyes are amazing!

I've mostly been into pythons and boas, but I just recently got my first colubrid...a snow cornsnake. (My dog found her outside my apartment building!) I love their personalities and would definitely like to try my hand at other kinds of colubrids. I'll have to look into them a bit more. Do you breed and sell them yourself then? Are they fairly easy to keep happy and healthy?

I have a pair that will breed eventually, a hypomelanistic male, and a normal female. This guy in this thread is just a pet, so i wont be breeding him. So no babies here yet! There are a few breeders here on fauna though, if you take a look at the classifieds here youll find who might have some available.

They are really easy to take care of, and can be kept just like your corn, or ball pythons ( if you have them) I dont think ive ever heard of a non eating one, or at least, not very many... * i think i remember coming across one online that was having issues* but generally... these guys LOVE food! ( just be careful not to overfeed them too!) youd have no troubles at all keeping these guys. Search around the forums here, and check them out online. Lots of neat morphs to choose from and all within pretty reasonable price ranges!

 

[Heykid]

Thanks! Yea I'll definitely have to keep my eye on these guys. They are wicked awesome

LMFAO

Thanks for the info harald.

Can they not pick a subspecies or something? Maybe they need to add a different name, and put them in their own group! ( Edit ) Scratch that, they have a latin name.... totally spaced that... weird how they have no common name that really fits... youd think theyd have something different.

Im thinkin i need to invest in a pair for myself now... and name them whatever the heck i want.

 

[hhmoore]

There are two subspecies: lineaticollis and gibsoni

I'm leaning toward pines, based on what I have seen; but I asked John & will let you know what he says

Alright, Cool Thanks!

I just saw that there are two through google * still browsing* . These guys are expensive too but definitely Something i should look into though.
they really remind me of Trans Pecos ratsnakes, with the lines going down the necks.
