This particular Racer was a real treat to work with.
These snakes are so fast and can get very defensive. Despite being quick and “bitey”, this one became rather lethargic when I began to photograph it. I was even able to pose it for the coiled shots.
It seems that it was just very keen on watching me, as it seemed to be glaring at me for every shot. When it came time to relocate and release this snake, it took off with no problem, so I was glad to see that.
If you've seen my How to Tell the Difference Between a Racer and a Black Rat Snake post, this is the same from that video.
