Well, I've gotten tired of waiting for someone else to post here so I guess I will.
This is one of my Texas Longnose Snakes. They are a lizard-eating snake from the south-western USA. They are in the Lampropeltini subfamily and look to me to be allied with Lampropeltis. There care is very similar to that of a kingsnake. They hatch as a black and white banded snake but later become more red. The red's starting to show here. There are populations that feed almost entirely on rodents (Tennant, 2003) and based on that fact I've decided mice are an acceptible food for my snakes, though they've not been easy to switch. This is the first FT meal my little girl has eaten (and it's unscented!). My bigger guy is insisting on live scented pinks. Enjoy the pic! I know it sucks but I don't have a better one.
Edit: Fixed a typo, they are from the south-west, not the south-east.
