In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them.

Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.
Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."
Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

Addendum: 01/10/2026
=====================
Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Not sure about the scalation, because I do not have a diagram or photographic referance with which to compare, but I looks like some type of Rat Snake to me. Where did it come from? Wild caught, or Captive bred?

Clue!
The specimen pictured is not a species of Coluber, Elaphe, Lampropeltis, Masticophis or Pantherophis.
It was captively produced in '03 and I am lucky enough to have 1.1 of its siblings. The one pictured was held back by the breeder, not because of its coloration, but for its docile disposition and positive feeding response. Both of which are uncommon for this particular species...

Is it native to the US? You called it a colubrid so that rules out cobras.

This particular -
species isn't native to the US, though there are "two" members of the same genus that are..
They were quite uncomon for several years, but have been imported into the US with a bit more frequency over the past couple of years and a few folks had success in '03 producing them in captivity!!!
Are you ready to cry "UNCLE"?? Or, do ya wanna take a few more shots at it??

Me? Never!!
LOL...Yeah, that someone told me you were a bit sore about me talking him out of selling his unicolor pair! No hard feelings, right?? If it makes you feel any better, VERY little persuasion was required
Besides, I've known him a while now and it's in stone, I get first dibs at any Drymarchon he parts with and he gets first dibs at mine!!
I have been waiting for "him" to give me the okay to identify the specimen pictured, unless someone guesses it first..

May I post a guess...
Drymarcon caudomaculatus?

Drymarcon caudomaculatus?
Doug T
Drymobius melanotropis? A bad guess I know but its 3 in the morning and I'm stumped. I seem to remember the Drymobius frontal scale to be more slender and the eyes to be a bit larger.
Tom Eason

or Drymobius margaritiferus margaritiferus. I guess melanotrophis was an even worse guess. Time for bed.

Nope, Nope and Nope!!
C'mon guys, you can do better then that!!
It's not a species of Drymobius, but sounds a bit like it, hence the posting on the Drymarchon forum.. Great to see you posting here Tom!
Doug, I am still looking for the disc I saved the correspondence between Dr. Kirsten Parris and myself on. regarding the captive husbandry of Aspidites melanocephalus. I will forward this to you as soon as I can find it..
It's not D. cuadomaculatus, though I wish I could say it were.
I will talk my "friend" into posting a body shot shortly...

Is it a Senticolis triaspis mutabilis?

Good guess,-
as the facial coloration is almost the same as that of Honduran "green" ratsnake, but that's not it.
This species is an ophiophagic general opportunist, eating most anything that will fit within its mouth...
I will post a body shot no later than Friday..

It was so easy I missed it. D. corais. Just too cool too.
... and I'm looking forward to the A.melanocephalus info. Regardless, my pair seems to understand what cool nights mean for them.
