I was looking forward to answering such a reasonable question. Dr. Fry has nailed it. Only thing I might add is that this is why knowledge & use of scientific names is important. Many snakes have several different common, or colloquial names, but they have but one scientific name. That takes all the guesswork out of the identity of the animal.
