My black racer arrived today. He/she was described as being 3 feet, lol, it's closer to four and if any of you are familiar racers then you know how they are... they're FEISTY! And this snake lives up to the racer standard 100%. I've been doing a lot of research about keeping coluber and as long as all goes well with this guy I actually plan to start keeping mainly snakes such as these... thamnophis, pituophis, coluber and heterodon. I like my snakes to look like they've got something going on upstairs

I am leaning towards female, and possibly, very possibly gravid. i say that because for a racer, it's chunky! haha... I didn't get time to take pictures today, but I will post a pic of an identical one for now! a beautiful, shiny black snake...
