Yes. This is the coloration of the easterns here, but my area also has westerns and intergrades nearby.
It's kind of a funky color that I'm not used to. Are they commonly this shade in the southeast? It's really pretty.
Great photo! I was lucky enough to find one on these elusive little snakes recently but wasn't able to get a head shot.
Thanks!
