Graham's Crawfish Snake vs. Queensnake

Both are plain brown, keeled, crayfish-eating snakes with a pale stripe low on each side. The Queensnake's belly is yellow with four dark stripes running its length, and its side stripe is narrow, on the first two scale rows; Graham's Crawfish Snake has a plain cream or yellow belly, at most with a faint row of dots down the middle, and a broad side stripe three scale rows wide, edged below by a thin dark line. The Queensnake lives in rocky streams, Graham's in muddy ponds, marshes and crayfish burrows.
