This guy was caught in northen ohio. What is he? I have some ideas but dont know for sure. (milk snake/corn snake)He was almost stomped by a horse but we saved him and here he is. Im thinking I will give him a couple meals and let him go.

Yep... Definately an Eastern Milk. Very pretty snake!

Agreed on the eastern milk.

This little guy is awsome. he has only been in his new cage for less than an hour and will already let you pick him up and hold with no problems. Not even a huff!! We are talking about if we want to keep him or not. I like him but I am torn between taking something that is wild and caging it. Captive breed know nothing else but wild born is a whole diff thing. Either way, he is cool as hell. Thanks for everyone helping out!!!

Very cool man! I see they already answered the "what" question.

As for keeping W.C hell I do it all the time...LOL Just make sure you don't have laws through your states DNR about keeping stuff like that. I caught a bunch of Garters last week and have them setup in a communal enclosure....already have them taking F/T minnows right from my finger-tips!

Just make sure you quarentine very well for awhile to make sure they aren't bringing anything in, precautionary mite/tick treatment is a must, and a dose of pancure would be a good idea.

I have him in a tank a floor below all the other snakes. I will mite/tick treat the little guy as well. Thanks Brad. He is already tame for a WC animal. Even found some shed under his hide this morning.

Sounds like a plan to me Troy! Good luck with the little guy...good looker man! I'd keep him!
