Tim's "on the money" with the lip curling.

Usually ringneck snakes will do that... And then let some of their saliva drip down, which will sometimes carry a horrible smell. This is used to scared off predators... I don't know how often something like that would work though, ha.

And your snake that looks "most edwardsii" is an intergrade.
Based off the looks of the neck ring, it's not the typical neck ring for pure edwardsii and the adult size is too small for it to be pure.
