Pretty snake! Please be sure to add this to the Snakes of the United States – CSC mission to help with their citizen science project! http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/12027210
Hi Xiaoxuan, what a lovely snake! Thank you for all the ID's you have been suggesting for unknown spottings - we appreciate that but request you always include the scientific name & a reference link with your suggestions. Because we have a global user base & sometimes many different common names for the same species, the user may not be able to correctly ID the species from the common name alone & system will continue to show a spotting as unidentified until the scientific name has been completed.
