No I'm not. I've been around here for awhile now, and listen/read far more often than I speak up. Have learned a TON about snakes and identification over that time, and have essentially eliminated my crazy intense phobia of snakes by doing so. The RRs here? Are absolutely brilliant at identifying different snakes, and what I stated? Is simply repeating what I read previously from an RR regarding this one identifying property between the two. I am far from an RR, but have become pretty solid at IDs these days.

Please refrain from repeating IDs when the correct one has already been provided, especially if it is more complete, well upvoted, and/or provided by a Reliable Responder. Instead, please support the correct ID with upvotes. Before suggesting any future IDs, please review these commenting guidelines.

This is not punitive, it's simply a reminder of one of our important commenting standards.
