I have encountered on my yesteryear land near Leander, 3 roughly 28" which is bigger than the books note as full size. I saw one at Georgetown Cedar Breaks Park which I would guess was at least 28" up to 30"plus. Not sure of current protections etc. but a coral used to bring a Very large $ sum per inch and had to be fresh. I never sold one. Very darned deadly. I actually chased one of my three down which was about 1/3 swallowed by my laying hen. I grabbed by its tail and pulled. It was much alive at that moment at least.

I prefer a shovel or a hoe. The challenge of an arrow in a snake not much bigger around.? Between the eyes? Kidding. Anyone ever seen the wierdo that fakes a Cobra. I was at a hill country Gas Station and a fella had one in his truck bed alive and it was pretty scary replicating a cobra with the flattened neck. I stayed back. (wimp) Since I made an error in previous post, my credibilty should be a bit weak about snakes. Always trying to explore and learn.

Mexico has other members and Arizona has the coral which the yellow can be dull to white and colors are not as vivid. Worldwide the family has more coral family critters. I can not find my source so I will consider possible error. I speculate the pros were talking about Arizona variation warning color differences. I am clear of the variations and they do exist but I can not produce proof for Texas so looks like after research with Hat in Hand, humbly apologize if I likely posted incorrect info for our great State.
Learned something today.
