Here is the underside...

Nice snake, but is it on ceder? If so you probably want to switch subtrates ASAP b/c cedar can be toxic to reptiles. Newpaper works wonderfully. Good luck with h(im)(er). -Joe D.
P.S. I don't remember how to spell cedar...or ceder..

She's great. I like the normals, and she looks cute. I agree with the other poster about the substrate warning. Cedar is considered very bad for snakes. I like Repti-bark, but most people seem to use aspen. I don't have much experience, so I'd recommend following their lead instead of mine.

It's not how many snakes you have. It's how happy and healthy you can keep them.

"snakes are kind of like potato chips, you cant have just one"
Nice snake
I especially like how the pattern looks like dots along the spine.
I think the bedding is actually aspen chips, not cedar. Cedar tends to be reddish in color. But I deffinitely agree to the warning about using Cedar or pine shavings as a substrate for any snake (actually cedar shouldn't be used for anything other than making your wardrobe smell nice)
