Re: Baja Cape Gopher pics (DUW)
Wow.. I'm loving the colors!!! Is the gopher snake in the same family as the rat and corn snakes?

Re: Baja Cape Gopher pics (DUW)
Thanks!
No, the gopher snake is in the Pituophus (bless you! ) family....which includes all gopher snakes, bullsnakes, and pine snakes.

Judy, I think you may have jumped the gun taxinomically speaking. Pituophis is a genus, not a family. Colubridae is the family, and encompasses 1800+ extremely diverse species, and about 300 genera. Beautiful snake though!! I love my little hypo bull, he is all bark and no bite. He hisses if I look at him funny, but never strikes, I love the attitude!!

Hehe...my bad. I just meant "family" in the generic grouping sense. But you're right and every reminder helps to cement those slippery classifications in my mind.....or helps cement those classifications in my slippery mind.....depending on how generous one is feeling.
