: Interested in getting some opinions on this rat snake. Thanks.

Hi dg,
Liked the picture.Looks like with less glare the colors would be very soft and have the feeling of watercolor washes.The head reminds me of my email to you regarding flat-top wedges,and long snouts,but I find the head pleasant,and only different somewhat in the manner of Boomslangs and Mambas(except eye).BTW later I need to email you again if it is alright regarding a young Louisiana m--k snake that is eating(apparently)anything it can subdue!
The young white oak snake is settling in hopefully,and following shed is still extremely chalk pale with the small blotches silvery-taupe in color;they are somewhat x-shaped,and evenly spaced down the spine quite distantly apart.It would not take much more for this snake to be patternless,but I can not open the Mendelian box at this point.Interesting.
Later,
JL
