I am not TOTALLY familiar with Butler's... but I am leaning more towards that since it doesnt look like an eastern at all to me.

Stripe on scales 1+2+3... That's what's throwing ME off. Found in the middle of eastern turf too.

I'm beginning to think butler's... This could be bad, I have him in with two female easterns, and he was unce'ing with one of them the other day.

Re: ID please. D:
If he's got red markings between some of his scales, maybe he IS a hybrid. I haven't read anything yet about colour variations in Butler's. So far everything I've seen indicates just the brown/gold type of colour. Worth looking into.

I'd bet my money on him being a hybrid. I caught another odd snake on Saturday that I let go, and it thrashed around instead of running away, but it had a lot of red between the scales.
