It looks like a very nice montpelliers snake (Malpolon monspessulanus) Definatly fits into the racer catagory.

Although it looks a bit thick, I might venture to say one of the Psammophis species?

Well done Nate!.. it is Malpolon monspessulanus or the 'Montpellier snake'.
If you have met one of these guys you never forget it.Look like a coachwhip...sound like a puff adder..with a nasty venomous bite!!..loads of attitude!!!
I would own one,but they are subject to a licence over here in the U.K.
This one was being handled by Mike,who is a member of this forum.
all the best Paul
