Had a friend put up my snake for sale. The reason for selling was I was unable to pair it off.
The snake was a Coluber hippocretis. The specimen was of a rarely seen European origion. He was glossy black with yellow markings and a salmon pink venter at 4' in length.
In a word the most gorgeous morph of this species. As to feeding, he eats small adult rats like candy.
Interestingly...no one even made a serious inquiry into it.
