This pic was emailed to me. The snake was found in a park in Boston. I ID'd it as an Eastern Milksnake, but just want to make sure, since I am not all that familiar with east coast herps.
Thanks for your help!

How large is that one? Without scale it's hard to know for certain but that looks extremely colorful compared to an average adult.

Here is a photo for size comparison that I took last week. The lighting is not good in this photo and does't capture the nice red as well as the previous photo. I'm guessing that the larger female is at least 4-5 years old?

Joe!,...you need to post that outstanding animal on the king forum!,....there was a guy asking to see nice examples of "red phase" Easterns there!.
I'm sure he wants to acquire some, but nonetheless wants to see some nice examples, and THAT one sure fits the bill if I ever saw one,......VERY NICE!
