>>Now of course in all of my excitement over feeding this snake I had forgotten that you guys wanted a photo of the anal plate... well once she had eaten the pinky it was a little late to go grabbing her and flipping her upside down and finding the right lighting outside under the tree (the only lighting that's going to allow my camera to focus on her extremely tiny tail is outdoors)... so I scooped her up gently and peeked at her tail... as expected she DOES have a single anal plate that is not divided. Not that I doubted that she was anything else but an eastern milksnake in the first place... but now anyone who questions her ID further is trollin' as far as I am concerned.
Since we got the supralabial and mid-body counts already, we'll let it slide this time......  ----- ----
