@ John- Thanks for the knowledge. I didn't even know bulls were the subspecies of gopher snakes. So where do pine snakes fit into this family? Thanks again. I never stop learning. :)
Same genus(Pituophis), different species. Gophers(Pituophis catenifer ssp) take up roughly half of the genus.

Some nice looking pituophis on this thread :)
SD Gophers are a passion, for me they are the perfect pituophis.
There was a pit on Kingsnake.com last night that looked like a fashion accessory. White with bold metallic gold markings.
Very striking.
I've been looking some at P. deppi jani (spell??) lately. It comes from cooler areas, and like the black milk, doesn't require so much heat. Pretty too.
Would like to get one in the next year or two.

That sounds interesting, do you have a link?
P deppei jani are just about the nicest looking non morph pit out there, I've been working with them since the 1990's when I imported some from Lloyd Lemke.
Recently I've been working on isolating and reproducing the hypo genes.
