Score! Who can ID??
« on: January 11, 2014, 02:26:18 pm »
I put the word out to a few friends to watch for road-killed snakes.  A buddy from western KY picked these up and froze them for me..  Skinnnit!
I know what they are, just thought I'd put these up for discussion..

I assume you're in the southeast.  From left to right:  Northern water snake, rat snake, king snake, and racer.

Florida to Kwajalein to Turkey and back in Florida again.  Good to be home but man was that an adventure!

I think you mean left to right?  Not a gopher or pine but it is a constrictor.

Bonus, the tread marks could make some interesting character.

It's a black ratsnake, aka, cowsucker, chicken snake.  It does have more light color to it than most...

The kingsnake is the largest I've ever seen, 46 inches..

That black one with the gold "lace" (for lack of a better word) would make a gorgeous bow.
