Added head shot and another top down shot.

Wow...have any close ups of the head, just out of curiosity? Also, are you keeping it? Those almost always die in captivity I hear(never tried it myself), have you gotten it to eat? From what I hear, I would be impressed if you got it eating, but then Ive never tried it so maybe its not as hard as they say.

Solid cream.

That looks like Lampropeltis triangulum elapsoides, do you have any ventral shots?
