Eastern Foxsnake vs. Eastern Milksnake

Both are blotched and often turn up in the same old fields in northern Indiana. A Milksnake's blotches are red or reddish-brown, each clearly outlined in black, on a white or grey ground, and its scales are smooth and glossy. A Foxsnake's blotches are dark brown or black on a yellowish ground with no black outline, and the adult's head is reddish-orange and unmarked. The belly settles it: black and white for Milksnake, black and yellow for Foxsnake.
