That is a corn snake, not a milk snake.

No, It certainly looks like an Eastern Milk snake to me.

Ok, here's a suggest for Jeff Barringer.
There is there first person who posted, who meant well but obviously is not all that knowlegeable. Then the second person, who undoubtedly has more experience than the first, set the record straight.
My suggestion is to create a (voluntary) herptile IQ test that people who wish to post can take. A variety of topics can be covered to establish the general knowledge/experience level of the poster. Each specific forum could have specialty tests that would establish depth of knowledge of a particular species/topic. My point is that this may help people know who to truly listen to on subjects that can, and do, mean the life or death of our captive reptiles. The tests would be somewhat time consuming to compile initially, but let's face it we all know this site must be profitable (!) to you... something like this could add to the already professional reputation that your site has now. What do you think?

I certainly agree many novices think that they are professionals.

No, no, no. Do you guys work for the DMV or some other government bureaucracy like the Department of Education? Testing? You gotta be joshin' me. Neophytes don't need to be subjected to this humiliation. Everybody's learning just fine through all the venues this site has to offer. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Just my humble opinion.
