Coachwhip

I went for a little walk today and found a Coachwhip. It at first tried to bite me but I took my hat off and threw over its head and caught it. Surprisingly it became very calm and docile after I held it for a few minutes.

It made some nice poses for me. I thought about keeping it but turned it loose

I love that face... what a character! I can easily see how you were tempted to take em home. :)

He's a beauty! What an awesome catch! (I'll bet he's very glad you let him go, though! ;) )

Beautiful...man, that belly...thanks for sharing!

Thanks, This was the first Coachwhip I have ever caught. They are very fast and usually get away from me lol

Great catch, and I'm completely with Cass...beautiful belly. :gj:

That has to be the most sculpted head I've ever seen on any snake! That would have been very hard to turn loose!

Very nice...he looked like a pretty big one too. Great pics, and I'm glad you let him go...:D

hehe nothing like a beautiful red belly huh :D
