    Snake I.D.

    Hint. This one sometimes eats other snakes especially small rattlebugs. This is one of two that live in an old stump in Sterling county in the front yard of a ranch house. One is about 6ft and the other close to 7ft long.

              I have one that lives in my fee shed. He has really done a good job keeping the mice down. My wife is even getting used to him. She hardly screams now when she sees it.

                      I have only seen two coachwhips ever, the last one, was that color. That one, is much bigger than the one we had on our property a few years ago.

                        Aren’t coachwhips the ones that can glide across tall grass about 3X the speed of light? Nothing should be able to move that fast.

                          They can haul balls. So can racers though too. And they bite like crazy if you grab one.

                          Coachwhips will play dead too. I don't know if many people know that but they'll do it. And they're better at it than a hognose. If you flip a hognose on its stomach it'll roll right back over. Western Coachwhips will go limp and won't move no matter what you do. I thought I killed one once and put it in a pillowcase and he came back to life.

                            They also zip along at warp speed with their head about a foot off the ground

                              I read where they can move along at 4 mph which is 2x faster than I can run nowadays. It's crazy how fast they can run down a mouse or rat or whatever crawly thing they after. https://youtu.be/1x_gWW-1z1s?t=184
