Man they r that pretty??? I can't wait to get mine. By the way are there many of them around your area? Do they all look like that or similar?

Really Nice snake!!!

I have only found ONE that looks like this....and I've found about 50 so far this year. I did find one that has the same light tan background color as this one, but the checkers were big and bold....not reduced like the one on this pic. I kept it for a little bit, but someone said they've seen them like the one pictured, so I released it.

Most have looked like this:

- taking a bite out of a friend -

Also, I have a couple pics on my website of some marcianus....

Very sharp snake! From its coloration, it looks to be a hypomelanistic morph.
