Red Garden Python????

I'm no expert, but that looks more along the lines of a rat snake... Aren't pythons generally shorter, pudgier, and bigger-headed? -shrug-

I was thinking the same thing, pythons are usually a much heavier bodied snake, and rat snakes are slender like the pic shows. But I'd like to know what it really is, just because I'm nosy.
 
I was actually thinking the same thing, some sort of rat. I wonder where they pulled 'red garden python' from.
 
Does it look lumpy to anyone around the spine area? I like the color though, but I have never seen an all red python before maybe its just too skiny but I have no clue what it is.
 
Kind of looks like an Everglades Rat Snake to me.
As with everyone, I have no idea where this person could have come up with the name Red Garden Python.
 
That is really not a python... I am an idiot when it comes to ID's and I can see that.... I'd go with a rat snake of some type!

Ha! The next questions is... does the poster actually KNOW that isn't a python and is just "sprucing it" to sell?? Or are THEY that dense??

I don't know, but I emailed him to see what was going on. It's a pretty snake, whatever it is.
 
I'd be interested to find out what it really is. I have a theory on his method.

1. Place colors into a hat...draw one out
2. Place random nouns into a hat...draw one out
3. Place types of snakes into a hat...draw one out.

It could have been worse. Could have been a magenta silverware viper.
 
Im putting my money on Tropidophis melanurus also known as the cuban wood snake.

This snakes comes in many variations including brown and a creamy colour or the really nice orange.
