i bought this as an eyghptisn racer, and some people say it is a jans whip snake. someother peole say it is some sort of rat snake.
we bought an anole and it ate in in a flash. peole ssaid it is rear fanged. i think it is to because there were no coils when he killed it he just sat ther and chewed. i got bit by him ( not on porpose )
and it swelled and i got little bumps but it went away in four or five minuets.

No,

That is an Egyptian Whipsnake or Flowered Racer. The latin is Coluber florulentus. Pretty neat snakes, mine was mean as heck and got loose. Keep checking my site for updates! William Huntsman
