Thanx Chris, reason I( wanted to know was a story a mexican woman told me. She said when she was in mexico on her farm that these snakes would suck on the utters of cattle. It was the strangest story that I heard of and wanted to know what kind of snake it was.---Eric---

Sounds like the same myth that gave Milk Snakes their name.
"Eastern milk snakes are commonly encountered throughout Ohio in a variety of habitats, including woods, meadows, and river bottoms-even within cities, where they occasionally enter buildings in search of mice. Their frequent occurrence in rodent-infested barns led to the fallacy that they milk cows by night; hence the name milk snake. These secretive snakes usually move about at night and spend the day hiding beneath objects such as logs, rocks, and old boards."
