Check back on Ratsnake forum. For my comments. Not a ratsnake-it's Pituophis.

You have yourself a sonoran gophersnake right there. Unless you specifically wanted bairds, I would'nt, but Pitupus are way better pets/breeding projects than any Ratsnake.

Check out the pics of my sonoran on my site look for the caresheet in the colubrid corner.

I am almost positive that is a Pacific Gopher Snake. I have one that looks almost identical to that, same shape, pattern, and head. You got yourself a beauty and a good mistake in my mind. Hope you like it as much as I love mine. How long is yours by the way??? Looks pretty long.
