Guessing the Snake Line Up

He went on a herping trip and found quite a few DOR. All of these snakes are endemic to the Gulf Coast and New Jersey Regions of the USA. All DOR specimens were collected and sent to the Florida Museum of Natural History. I think it's a beautiful shot. Can you guess the animal, left to right (number 1 - 15?) I've only managed 6 so far :oops:
I'm sure many of you out there can do better?

It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Those who are afraid to ask are ashamed of learning.
