Hi All
bought this little guy 2 days ago here in the U.K. advertised as Coluber constrictor flaviventris (yellow bellied racer)...I'm fairly certain it is NOT this species!!!
I think that I have Andersons whipsnake here...coluber rogersi...from the middle east/N.Africa.
Can I have your opinions please???

best wishes Paul

Could be a Coluber florulentus.

Do you have a better picture?

Gilian

I'll get some better ones up soon...just a few shots I took this afternoon!

I still agree with myself.
Coluber florulentus.

There were some for sale in Houten. (They sold them as C. rogersi, and the C. rogersi as C. florulentus)

Gilian

Yo,

That would be the Anderson's Whipsnake, or Roger's Racer(Coluber or Platyceps rogersi). All the info about them is in my site, www.greenpinemuseum.com.

While we are on the subject though... What are these, I know they are from egypt but that is all.

Thanks Paul!

It is a work in progress! With college taking most of my time, it is hard to get this site finished. One day, it will be finished.
William

Nice website!!!

I, and all other dutch guys thought these were C. florulentus...
