Interesting snake

Recommended Posts

Those coach whips are no joke. I watched one last year kill a much bigger diamondback.  Just beat him into submission.

I see them often but it's the Bobcats I have the most problems with. What are your cross streets?

160th av and just south of jomax. I just killed a big butt bobcat last week . The SOB was laying on top of the hay stack and scared the crap out of me. At about 5 AM.  I was able to get a arrow in him at about 15 yards. I had to put a netting over the dog kennel/ dog run. The lady who lives in the front house has two Weiner dogs. And between the owls and bobcats. We had to enclose the top so they can't jump over or fly in the top and in the kennel. Neighbors are all missing there cats.

So you're close to the Heeler rescue? Yeah we have a lot of fowls and a Corgi.  We lock the birds up in cages at night but recently a bobcat pulled a chicken right thru a 2" chain link diamond.

Yes . I'm one block west of Healing Heelers rescue. There on 160th Ave. And I'm 160th drive. . 

Get a few snares and set them out at night. Put one where that bobcat pulled the chicken threw. All it needs to do is get its head or a foot in it. Take them down in the morning. So you don't catch a dog.

Been noticing more snakes in the yard the past couple weeks as well.  Saw two of these guys in the same day.  @IA Born could you help with ID?

I was thinking Gopher as well, thanks.  This one was about 3' long and pretty sure he took a swing at one of my dogs because she was skiddish for a few hours after the encounter, but no bites on her.

They can whip there tail like a rattlesnake and scare the heck out of you. When I used to irrigate for Gilbert FFA . at night. They would get up on the berms of the Alfalfa fields. And shake that tail. I would look like Jesus walking on water. Running the other direction. 

God I hate snakes and anything that crawls on you. 😳

Many many years ago in 36B, I caught this guy. Wasn’t a racer, but it liked to climb trees.
