Another name this snake

Here's our new one who knows what it is? And don't say you know what it should be, the boy would be very upset if I took a hoe to the snake.

Texas Night Snake in a disco. "Come her often?"

Are those salamanders next to it?

I'll go with the standard answer of Diablo, nice snake.

Willie.

trans pecos rat snake

Target número uno.

Looks like a California kingsnake to me. For all the snake haters, fear not....they are known to eat rattlesnakes.

I don't know what it is, but if I ever see one, I will a nice hat band out of it.

No, I think that is the reflection of the turtle shell he sleeps in.

You got it, and in the wild they mostly eat snakes, rattlers included. This thing is basically a worm with scales. It's completely harmless and this particular one has a cool personality.

Banana California King is my guess with such a bad pic to go on.

Sorry bout the pic, cell phone in the dark.
California King Coastal Aberrant
