>>That is a nice eastern milk, but looks absolutely normal to me. At least it is well within the color range of a typical eastern milk.
I have far too little experience to begin talking about what's typical. But those blotches look olive (olive green?) to me. Maybe that's typical. I've always thought of eastern milks the way the Audubon Society field guide describes them, with "chocolate-brown to reddish-brown, black-bordered blotches..."
Are you saying the snake doesn't look like it has olive green blotches? Or that yeah, it does, but that that's within the typical color range? I know there are more specialized books than the field guide, on Milks: Which are the better ones? Do any of them mention olive green blotches?
