Rescue Chunkhead
Local Nature Center called me up to take this little guy. He just wandered into someones yard and they were kind enough to send him there rather than sending him to "next world". Cute little bugger. Cross your fingers. He looks healthy, but there is no telling. He will be quarentined for a while.

Congrats, Martin.

He is nice looking. I like the pattern. Looks a bit different from mine.

Cute littel chunker bro! Good deal to both you and the yard owner:-) Tell me, by looking at its face, it would seem that little aggy is still a youngin, correct? Kinda cool how he has such dark coloration at that size, if I am indeed right. They usualy seem to be much lighter up untill about a year old, even our mokasen up here.
Anyway, bottom line, congrats on the new and hopefully non troubleing mouth to feed.
Let us know how it comes almog,
J

He is a little guy. Obviously last years baby. Hard to tell with the color until he sheds and gets the mud off. Pure c contortrix I think. Although mokasen integrades are more common here.

Hey man,
I thought he maybe alittle dirty. Kinda takeing after his cousin the cottonmouth. It seems many, many WC cottons are caked with mud. Understandable due to their muddy habbits.
Question, were are you located in the state? Northern, central or southern part? The reason I ask is I have always been under the impresion thta intergrades ended in northern South Carolina. North Carolina is the most renouned intergrade state for the 2 ssp and I always thought of SC being the numero uno hangout for pure contortrix and ofcource anyother points south.
I agree though, the little guy is definately pure contortrix. Even in NC you can find specimens that look purely contortrix but even they can be told apart, usualy by the blk spots inbetween the hour glasses which tend to show threw on the belly of the snake. Your little guy has none hence my and probally your asumptions.
Well man, im glad the snakes are crawling down in your neck of the woods! I thought spring may have came early this year with briligant weather we were haveing last friday and sat(78) but then a damn cold front moved in and it snowed all day sunday with temp only reaching the lower 40s! Of cource now, in the middle of the work week, its 75 degrees again!! Gosh darn mid atlantic weather!!!
Ok, that was long.
Peace,
J
