It hatched yesterday from a wild caught mom.

It is a racer of some sort, just one of the subspecies of C. constrictor. It does have an aberrant pattern although that will likely disappear as it matures and takes on its uniform adult color (which will depend on where the baby is from).

Its a striped black racer. very common in northern black racers.

Its a southern black racer. Many authorities on racers have voiced that they have not seen nor heard of any black striped racer, so perhaps they would be interested in some pics of the common northern striped ones? How many do you see in a year? Are they babies or do they retain a stripe as adults? I would think they would turn all black regardless of the stripe as a baby, so I assume you are finding babies with stripes? What locale are you talking about?

Im form Alabama the ones here are notherns though and do not keep the stripes when they are adults though.

Im from Alabama the ones here are northerns and do not keep the pattern.
