(sorry the lighting is terrible)

I have to say, she is a mean looking snake

At first glance I thought there were three snakes in the picture. The pattern is very hot, nice pick-up

That is just what my boyfriend said too, something about her eyes looking mean!

But "au contraire" she is as docile as a lamb, even without frequent handling.

edit: There is a typo in the OP. It is a Cape Gopher, not a Cane Gopher.

She has awesome coloration, especially near the tail. Great pickup.

Grats on the pickup:) Those eyes mean business lawl!

that snake is goregeous!

Isn't it amazing the coloration and patterns you see in non-morphed animals?

Mexican lined gophers and cape gophers exhibit colors and patterns on par with morphs costing much more money.

Nice pick up!

Cape Gophers are my favorite gopher. I do not like any other gopher, but those.

what a beauty!!
