I picked him up today and this being the second time only he never did anything.I mean he rattled his tail a bit but otherwise, wow.I have a cb cornsnake that bites me on a regular basis so this guy is sweet compared.He still has a very slight bulge so maybe he is still in a food coma.I hope not cause he sure is amazing looking.Not in a bright colorful way but has very cool patterns.

What exactly is the snake I have? The book I have calls it a Western ratsnake(scotophus obsoletus)
Is this the same as a Pantherophis obsoletus or black ratsnake.
And Ive seen it called Elaphe obsolete....So which is it?
