thanks ever so much, ill let you in on a secret, i posted this on an american site that im usually on as i know theres a lot of traffic, however i posted it on a british site knowing that there would be less replies but the ones i got would be accurate, i googled the pictures and yes you seem quite right, everyone on the american site was adament it was a trinket snake, thanks again, my friend can do some researching now
