[tricksterpup]

Ok folks I recently got this animal and I thought I would play "What is this Snake Game?"
Don't worry, I know full well what this animal is, i am curious how many others do as well.
I will tell you this is a female and she does eat f/t mice.

Yep This is a Western Fox snake, Elaphe vulpina vulpine. It was a snake that was found at someone's home and given to me. For a wild caught, I was very pleased she started to eat f/t with out to much coaching. She is a bit thin but i am sure she will fatten up on a regular schedule diet.

You were very close, so very close.

Texas Rat Snake

This animal is indeed a rat snake, i find it to be a natural beauty of the rat snake familyl. But it is one of the more harder species to breed. They like to have a long cold brumate (about 2 months.)
