I found this snake in my backyard in Apple Valley and I was wondering what it is. I know it's a bad photo, but it's the only photo I got before it slithered away. Thanks.

It is solid black plastic (basically a mac n cheese container from Kroger). I was wondering when it comes to putting opening(s) should I do the top, the side? Just 1 or maybe 2 on opposite sides? I know snakes like to feel secure do they like escape hatches or to just defend one opening? ]]> Colubrids LCReptiles http://geckoforums.net/f33-colubrids/94732.htm Corn layed......... http://geckoforums.net/f33-colubrids/94697.htm Wed, 01 May 2013 15:46:01 GMT To nest her i dug down about 4-5 inches and layered some moss, leaf litter and other rotting plant stuff Image:...

She did have 4 other nesting options to choose from.

The eggs were put on a slightly damp perlite/vermiculite mix, covered with polyethyline and a well ventilated lid

I caught these guys in a tunnel in eastern colorado, close to Westminster/Denver. I marked it in my field notes and then let them go, but I don't know whether they are eastern or western yellow bellied racers. Should I mark them C. constrictor mormon (western) or C. constrictor flaviventris (eastern)? Any help is appreciated!
