Watch and listen as this gopher snake “barks” in anger as it’s removed from an Arizona home.

I've met & picked up quite a few gopher snakes & I've never heard one make a sound like this one does (or anything that I'd call a "bark"). I have to wonder if this one has an RI, because it sounds to me like the typical hiss (strong forced exhale) is traveling thru some mucus in this little guy. Anyway, that's my take on it.
