Late post snake (beware)

Been awhile but we have quite a bit to post. I'll try and put up a bunch today, maybe some more in the coming week. We have lots of pictures of stuff we've grown and made and found in the yard.

Firstly a young red racer aka coach whip (Coluber flagellum piceus) that was out in the driveway eating a lizard. It must have been pretty hungry, because no matter how close I got to it to snap pictures, it was NOT going to let go of this lizard and crawl away. I wound up literally about 5 inches from his head and got to take some macro shots. He's quite a bit smaller than other coachwhips I've seen so this may have been his first year.
