In one of the videos one can see the "caterpillar" movement of this female longissimus.
The snake was found by my brother.

Thanks, Massimo, but it's an aesculapian, not a viridiflavus!
Viridiflavus do not move or behave like this guy does...
Massimo Trentin wrote:O.T. I noticed that the behavior of aesculapian is in some ways very similar to the N.american P.obsoletus, starting from the "en accordeon" attitude (that,i.e. corn snake doesn't show).
Not to mention that head shape is very similar too,would be interesting to know why two species now so far away each other are so similar in different ways (common ancestor pre ice age?).

As you stated,"en accordeon" is more typical for arboreal/semi-arboreal species;maybe that's why I've never observed it in my corn snake and often in my Texas rat snake.
