Re: please help me ID my racer snake

Im pretty good at IDing racers but unfortunately I seem to lack some requirement to view the images you've attached. If you can upload them to like imgur.com and then link them here, I can try to help

I can see the images fine although I'm not great with colubrids.

Be patient till Wayne sees this later today, he'll ID it in 2 seconds.

Your snake resembles an antiguan racer in color and markings, but it's snout looks a bit too blunt - though that could just be the angle of the picture

Re: please help me ID my racer snake

thank you for the responses. it was labeled as an Egyptian flowered racer, but the markings dont look right according to images ive seen online. IMO the markings look more like a Rogers racer. I named it Zeppelin. IDK if personality will be helpful in the ID,but its super friendly, active, curious and alert.

My guess is a juvi black racer, but I'll be the first to admit I'm no expert at IDing the young ones, lol. Their colors change so drastically as they age

Looks like one of the Diadem racers. Hard to tell in the pics which one.
