QUESTION: I have been trying to locate someone that might be able to identify a snake that I'm almost certain it's from Asia and not a local snake since the local Agriculture Agent, Texas Cooperative Extension office, could not identify the snake, or unable to find anyone in this area that could identify it. Recently in opening a merchandise box, my wife discovered the snake. The snake was dead but perfectly preserved. We noticed that the item we purchase was made and package in China. The item was purchased from one of the major home improvement centers in the Corpus Christi area. Attached are photos taken by the local Cooperative Extension Agriculture Agent, Donnie Montemayor, Bee County, 210 E. Corpus Christi St., Beeville, Texas 78102 Hector S. Hernandez, Beeville, TX ANSWER: The snake in question appears to be a Dinodon species, possibly rufozonatum. Sorry, I do not know the common name for this harmless species. Alan Kardon
