snake id quiz

[falconer1]

have any idea, without looking in the herp books

[falconer1]

I must admit I am jealous of the pictures, and storys that you guys post. I used to live in AZ,and herped all of the time, but have since mover to Illinois where the herping is nothing in comparison, but it makes it well worth it when you find something like this. I will post what it is later. thanks for looking.

I know it is non-native to arizona, but still gorgous none the less. I have 3 babies left from this one, and one thing I did not know is that they are born with green on the tip of their tail. they sit coiled up and wiggle the tail, and it looks just like a catipillar to an un-suspecting prey item. very cool to watch! thanks
