Say hello to...

I say Goldie, my wife says Dot, we'll both be wrong if it's a male. So first off, what's the sex? I'm guessing female. Let's see if I'm getting any better at this.

This is why my wife says Dot:

I don't know if the pictures will truly represent how pretty this snake is because where I've seen the yellow stripe on snakes in my yard, and I've seen the orange stripes as well, this snake really looks like as it matures it's going to color up more gold in color than anything else. Maybe I'm wishful thinking... but she really does appear that way.

Here are a few more pics of Dot/Goldie/NeitherI'mNotFemale:

Female with a bruised/injured tail.

Sweet radix face on that girl.

Something internal that will clear up? Will sheds help or nothing to do with sheds?

As long as blood flow isn't compromised it should be OK. Looks like the tail was caught/pinched. The first photo shows it clearly.

If you go with "Dot", you'll be obligated to get two more and call them "Yakko and Wakko".

I'll second Steve on her being a girl.

I say female and I'd go with Goldie.

Thank you Kat! The gold look of the snake is pretty cool, had she been male I was going to still play up the coloring as an influence and call him Knox. But Goldie it is.
