What's the difference?

fourfeathers Feb 12, 2004 11:01 PM

What's the difference between a "Bull Snake" and a "Gopher Snake"? Or is there a difference?

Is it the same Genus/species but with different common names?

Also, what about "Pine Snakes"? Are they related?

Educate me.

Click on the caresheet link at the top of this page. Look for the "Pituophis page". It's got all the current classifications and a whole lot more.

Thanks. I think I have a little better understanding of it.

Pines are native to the east.
Bulls to the central.
And gophers to the east.

Does that about sum it up?

I meant:

And gophers to the west.
