what type of snake is this

what type of snake is this i live in central pa if that helps

 

Hi,
It's obviously very tiny, with those keys there.
Unfortunately the pic wont show full size on my computer, it's tempermental...lol
Has it got a turned up nose in like a point?
If it has, I suspect its a western hognose.

 

I don't know alot about snakes but it looks like a corn kinda to me.

 

ugh, i just went to a reptile zoo recently and they had a snake that looked just like that. i dont know if it was its natural morph because this place takes in ex pets but i think it was a kingsnake. i know there are also corns that come in that morph

 

Looks like a king snake but it could also be a corn snake, they do kinda look alike

 

Aren't king snakes only black and white though?

The snake in that pic is a reddish maroon with grey.

 

I would definitely say corn snake... they come in all colors and that is their pattern (we live in central PA too and they are a native species)

Did you keep it? If you don't want him/her I love baby corns and have experience with wild caught snakes!

 

kings come in alot of other colors than just black and white

 

Juvenile eastern milksnake (Lampropeltis triangulum triangulum)

 

i think its a king. we have them in maryland too.

 

I can see how it looks like a hognose in that small picture but after maximising it, it seems more likely to be a corn or a king.

The thing is with corns and kings is they have been so widely bred and so many different genes are now present in different types of corns and kings its hard to know what you're getting. You probably wont be able to be 100% sure. Luckily, they do have similar care needs, so it shouldn't be hard to provide them with a decent setup!

 

That is a Miami cornsnake. I could tell because i have the exact same one. gray with big red spots.

 

This. (Also, milk snakes and king snakes are basically the same thing.)
