Not an expert in terminology or care. Or dumb it down "Barney". I have not kept a snake in many years. Accidently placed most the photos in the general discussion forum. You might get a better shot form one of those pics. Oh and thank you for your comments.

Keeping cats allows man to cohabitate with tigers. Keeping reptiles allows man to cohabitate with dinosaurs.

I see quite a few of the scarlet kingsnakes where I live. I see some Eastern Corals too. These snakes I spot in the late evening or undercover in bark. The most frequent snake I find is the pygmy rattler. Morning, noon, twilight they are everywhere. Never had one act aggressive to me so I leave them be. In fact I move them from harms way when needed. I have probably seen 200 over 5 years. Most are babies. Of all the pygmies that I have seen 3 of them had very unusual coloration but the typical pattern. Two were babies, one an adult. It had dark blue pattern with cream or white background. The blue was almost as dark as a navy but bluer and brighter, some bluish slate mixed in with the dark blue pattern. Did not have my camera when I found the adult and the babies that I found were out in the evening so I did not have enough light. I also have a pitbull who is oblivious when it comes to snakes. She will step right on them. So a photo was tough.

That's about as big as they get for sure! Good looking one too. The Blue Pigmy sounds very interesting too!

The rattlesnakes (Crotalus oreganus oreganus - Northern Pacific Rattlesnake) we have in my neck of the woods are pretty big. When I hear that steam escaping from a pipe noise and know there are no pipes around, its time to stand still and spot out the snake. Those pygmy rattlers sound like they would be fun to keep, if one was careful, of course.
