ive had this snake for a few months now which was rehomed to me from the rescue, from a rspca collection and im still a bit unsure if this is definetly a smoothie.


it has the right markings on its face for a smoothie, but it its from yorkshire where smoothies apparently dont live.


it is feeding and shedding well, but is still a bit nippy.


thanks


lee

Hi Lee,
It's definitely NOT a smoothie. It's something from the rat snake family
Cheers,

Looks like a corn snake to me.

Photo not brilliant but does look like Elaphe bimaculata from China to me.
