Well, finally got my first snake. A co-worker of mine knew I was looking for a snake and found this guy while mowing his yard. I don't have any under-shots yet for sexing, but I'm assuming someone can identify the type. Name is Sage, and he/she is about a 18-24" long. I was also wondering if it is possible to ballpark a snakes age on appearance? Anyway, here are the two shots I have so far. More to come.





The pictures don't really show the color well, but most of the scales seem kinda faded, not very vibrant. Is this common with older snakes, or maybe starting a shed cycle? Thanks
