Re: A question for the rat snake experts...
She might be an corn...

How reliable is the 8+ years? Only other option I can come up with is an eastern milk snake...

Or a juvenile black rat snake...

Two questions, what color are the eyes and what color is the tongue? That will help with identification.
For now, I'm guessing it's actually a captive caught corn. Other opinions?

Re: A question for the rat snake experts...
I would say no to a corn, the pattern on the head is all wrong. But it could be a corn / rat hybrid. Or a black x grey x yellow rat cross. Maybe a mole or prairie king, they are typically under 3 feet.

Re: A question for the rat snake experts...
Thanks for the suggestions!
We found out not long ago that she's actually a Glossy snake, Arizona elegans. I'm not sure what subspecies she is but it's a match as far as looks go.
She's turning into a very nice snake, too. As for the 8 years, it's pretty solid. The person we got her from had been taking care of the snake for 8+ years, ever since it was left in her care by a friend.
She's eating and shedding now and getting muscle control back. I'll post another pic of her soon.
