Pretty snakes. The Burm looks unusual. I'd love to see how its pattern develops as it gets older.

Does anybody know why snake's tounge is splited at it tip?

Snakes flick their tongues to pick up odor particles from the air like the scent of their prey. They then use their Jacobson's organ at the front of their mouth to analyze the sample. The forked tongue yields a directional result so they know which way to go to follow their prey.

Here's a beautiful young Gopher Snake from Southern California. It was sunning and "asleep" and there was no tongue movement at first. Finally the tongue began to get active, the snake realized it was in peril, and it moved off to cover. Pituophis catenifer annectens - San Diego Gophersnake

The snakes of the genus Pituophis, which consists of the pine, bull and gopher snakes, are among the largest North American colubrids. Pine snakes inhabit mainly the southeastern part of the U.S., although they also occur in the pine barrens of New Jersey. There are several subspecies, including the northern pine (probably the most common), the black pine, the Florida pine, and the Louisiana pine. Bull snakes can be found in the central part of the U.S., ranging as far north as Canada and as far south as Mexico. Gopher snakes are native to the western U.S., ranging from Canada down through Baja California and part of Mexico. There are numerous subspecies of gopher snakes. All three species are large bodied snakes that average six feet in length, with some reaching as much as eight feet. The markings on all three species are similar, although there is some differentiation with the background colors.
