a farther away pic would be nice, but I am going to say snow. You can see the saddles too much for a blizzard, and there is a lot of yellow.

Leaning toward snow, but a full-body shot would help on this one. I've seen blizzards with this much yellow, but seeing a full-body shot will tell me how wide the head is. Narrow heads are not proof-positive markers, but often, blizzards have narrower heads than snows. I can't tell from this shot if the head is wide or narrow, relative to the rest of the snake.

Here's a (nearly) full body shot of the male. Thanks for your help!

speckled dark pigment on it's side next to the head,....or what?,....if so, that is a "paradox" snowcorn!!!!...VERY cool indeed!

Sorry to disappoint - it's poopment, not pigment. Little sucker slithered through a pile just prior to photo.

Thanks for the funny prompt reply!
