Between about 1990 and 2011, foxsnakes were sometimes divided into two species, with P. vulpinus as the western foxsnake, and P. gloydi as the eastern foxsnake. A 2011 paper by Crother, White, Savage, Eckstut, Graham and Gardner proposed instead that the Mississippi River be established as the species boundary between two species of foxsnakes, and that those found to its east be considered P ...
Western Fox Snake. Fox snake or foxsnake is the common name given to some North American rat snakes of the genus Pantherophis. It is generally agreed that there are two such species, but three candidate species names have arisen for them: Pantherophis gloydi (eastern fox snake), originally described by Conant in 1940, merged with P. vulpinus in ...
This is a list of extant snakes, given by their common names. Note that the snakes are grouped by name, and in some cases the grouping may have no scientific basis. Contents:
Pantherophis is a genus of nonvenomous colubrid snakes endemic to central and eastern regions of North America. It consists of the North American ratsnakes , the foxsnakes , and the cornsnakes .

In contrast to blue racers, eastern fox snakes were often found under front porches, in barns/garages, and in the foundations of houses; whereas, most (but not all) blue racers were observed in more "natural" settings. Therefore, blue racers are more confined to areas with minimal anthropogenic activity. Campbell and Perrin also noted that ...
He is honored by having named after him the following taxa: a genus of Asian pit vipers, Gloydius; three species of nonvenomous snakes, Pantherophis gloydi (eastern fox snake), Agkistrodon howardgloydi, Heterodon nasicus gloydi (dusty hognose snake); and a subspecies of Central American pit viper, Crotalus intermedius gloydi.
