singleshot Report post Posted May 4, 2009 I have seen about ten of these in my life and all of a sudden my cat has been dragging in several a night. I guess they are attracted to termites which has got me a little bothered, my house was built in 1895 and the floor joists and floors are original. Probably just paint holding it all together. This is a full grown snake. About the same color as a red racer. In the first picture it's head is on the left. Their eyes are pin points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EBB Report post Posted May 4, 2009 Dug one up with a backhoe once. Took awhile to identify it because the internet was just a dream then. This was in Northwest Phoenix. Really cool little snakes. EBB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
