It was from some webpage that said they were hard too keep. I was really just trying to identify it. The 'Y' on the top of its head made me pick milk snake, though most pic i see of them have reddish spots on a brighter ground.

hmm, maybe it is a fox snake. Im in VA, so and eastern fox snake? The spots on top are pretty uniform. funny, though, two of them connect midway done its length. Ill hold on to it for another day, but we'll have our hands ful with our two new garters.

I would guess one wouldnt want to breed western with eastern.

the fox snake isnt suppose to be in Virginia.

hey,
east ,west doesn't matter much,no different than red rats breeding with yellow rats in Florida,gray rats breeding with black rats.we used to see Fox snakes around here ,and once in awhile a Eastern Milksnake,but siting now are getting scares,still west of us they see them,a little more often,All we have now Western Plains Gartersnakes(in the spring,by the hundreds)and once in a while a watersnake.
