Oxyrhopus petola: Named after me?

Oxyrhopus Dec 26, 2005 06:01 PM

Just kidding. One of my favorite species is Oxyrhopus as you can tell from my screen name. Well its a small terrestrial snake (usually less then 3 feet) however is rear fanged but I posted it here just to some of the regulars can view it. I did not obtain a good shot of the eyes, but they are very attractive. This was a recent import that is gravid and had its pre-lay shed today.

Awesome.

Looks like someone crossed a coral snake and a black rat snake.
