    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.....

    =====================


    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....

What is this

looks like a corn snake. Can we see the belly? Is there markings that look like corn? Also try to get a better head shot. Thanks
 
Shaun,If I catch another tomorrow, I'll get a belly shot for y'all I let it go. :rofl: . I want The bigger one....If it is a corn how big do they get ???? The big Mamma Jam Ma had to be at least 6' and a tennis ball around I thought it was a Boa :rofl: I'm a city boy living in the sticks now, And I see more wild life then I did on the Discovery Channel :rofl: Thanks.
 
Eastern Milksnake

That is an Eastern Milksnake Lampropeltis triangulum triangulum - note the "Y" on the top of the head - this is diagnostic. See Conant and Collins 1998 Plate 30. Also, if you caught it in NY State, there's no way it can be a Cornsnake.

That makes perfect sence. A milksnake it is. I live in Kansas, so our milks actually have red coloration in them. I forgot far east species are lacking the bright colors. I also wasnt sure if it was a corn due to the area, but Im not sure how far North they go. Eastern Milk makes the most sence. Nice looking snake, too bad its not red. Later
 
I must agree, 100% Eastern Milk. The corns are way more placid. The Eastern are a bit more nippy. LOL They also have a blunter nose.
 
Here are some pics of one I have now. You can see they are the same.
