Hi all, Not sure if this is related to the recent request for a snake ID posted to the forum, but this came in my mail box to KRAG, I'm fairly sure that I know what it is but am no expert on pet species. If anyone can confirm the ID I'll let the sender know. Thanks in advance.

| Thanks for your comments Jerry/Rob I thought it was a corn snake also, but thought it best to get another opinion. |

| Ive sent the picture to my brother, who used to work in the exotics trade, and he agrees that it is probably a corn snake, but suggests that it might also be a grey rat snake, any chance of a better picture? |

Does anyone own a hognose snake? at the Perthus (on the border to
spain) they sell them, but they eat frogs, this means it isn't ideal to keep ------------- Reptiles & Amphibians of France: http://www.herpfrance.com - www.herpfrance.com European Field Herping Community: http://www.euroherp.com - www.euroherp.com |
