Hook
Thanks for that site, too
BUT when I clicked on the skin(which is really clever) and went to the pix, I flinched. They were too real. In snake identification, that is terrific. For people who don't really like snakes, it's a "ok enough of that"!

You don't think it looks like a Glossy Snake? Is the Zorro mask on a Gopher Snake?

A friend from Texas, who claims to know snakes very well, says it is NOT a glossy cause the glossies look like they have saran wrap around their bodies. This one was a gopher snake and we have so many gophers, I am glad this one is here in the garden.

I scared one of our guests off when I told them about the snake.....I for got most people really don't appreciate the.


Oooops. :o:o
