for my states test, my partner and i had alot of trouble identifying the different snakes. we looked through the book, (petersons guild to the east) and still didnt find the answer. the picture wasnt really clear, but we were pretty sure it was a water snake. we havnt gotten the test back, but i really want to know what the snake accually was

There were two grammar errors in the state test for herpetology in Nebraska. (They used an apostrophe s for plural. ugh.) We had some extra time at the end, so I crossed it out and wrote in what it should have said. Do you think that I might have gotten points off for being an obnoxious grammar nazi like that?

i dont think that they could take off points for that. iff they did, you could always email them
