Slowinski's Cornsnake vs. Prairie Kingsnake

Both are brown, blotched snakes of fields and woodland edges in eastern Oklahoma and the Gulf states. A: Large saddles, each much longer than the gap between them in the Slowinski's Cornsnake; many small blotches, widely spaced in the Prairie Kingsnake. B: A dark stripe from the eye past the jaw and a spear-point on the crown in the Slowinski's Cornsnake; no spear-point; a dark line from the eye back on some; smooth, glossy scales in the Prairie Kingsnake.
