Props Chris -
>>That is a juvenile Texas Ratsnake (P. obsoleta)...
Yep - sure is! Forgot to look at the postoccular stipe! D'oh!
>>...The ssp of cornsnake in Ft Bend county (where they would be uncommon, to say the least) would probably be Slowinskii's cornsnake (P. guttata slowinskii).
Yeah, I mentioned Slowinskii's cuz its on the CNAH forum. Not sure if its a full sp. or ssp. - until someone comes out with a new guide, I'm sticking with E. g. emori. The guides do show it there (whatever its called), but since you haven't seen one, I bet they are uncommon.
Great ID!
