Hey Coluber,

That is actually a Caspian Whipsnake(Dolichophis caspius), or Coluber caspius. I actually owned a blue specimen, beautiful snake but very beat up and aggressive! They are not too common, at least here in the US! Do you ever find any flint arrowheads in your area?
Thanks,
William C. Huntsman

Thats a snake I'm not familar with but would make alot more since. Looks alot like the speckled racer though, you gotta admit.

It is a Caspian Whipsnake!...there is no fooling you guys!..very well done there William!

I may buy a Melanistic Caspian Whipsnake soon,if so I'll post a photo up.

Does anyone know if this snake is now included in the species Coluber??

This one is a little harded but I'm guessing a specaled racer with a buggered up nose? Drymobius margaritiferus
