I do agree with the above statements that that particular snake is NOT an elegans, look at the head it's got sirtalis written all over it. I don't even live out wheclunky head and facial features such as the oversized labials resulting in the hugest smile ever) look to them and that snake ain't got it! I would also venture that it's a fitchii and that it was falsely ID'ed. It also resembles my male pickeringii in the dainty little head it has! I have seen both baby fitchii and baby concinnus (ones with laterals) that if you put them together, they would almost be hard to tell apart if you didn't know your garters!
