    I've had him for a month now but never bothered to ID him. Let me know if you have any idea.

    Yeah....I was leaning more towards a zebra or some type of Moray. I agree that a banded snake would have thicker wht stripes, also the same thickness as the black. Man....tough one to ID. Anybody else want to ring in on this?
