Help!!! What kind of snake is this???

metalmistress3 Aug 22, 2005 12:57 AM

I live in Scottsdale, Arizona. And I just caught a snake tonight. I have pictures. And I want to keep it as a pet and hold it. Can someone help me try to figure out exactly what kind of snake this is? He rattles like a rattle snake, but has no rattle. He hasn't striked at me or anything, and I've gotten pretty close to him. If someone has an idea of what he is, please let me know, and also let me know if he will make a good pet, and if it's okay to pick him up and handle him...

I have pictures! I just dont know how to post them.
How do I know the Image URL? If someone will give me their email, I can email the pictures.

Please Help!

Might be a gopher snake or a king snake. Send me the photos: nmherper(at)hotmail(dot)com I should be able to ID it.

No problem! And for everyone else, it was a Sonoran gopher snake.
