black racer




This a black racer (Coluber constrictor)...another snake found at Donnely. It was more feisty than the Banded water snakes, so we had to take more care to get bitten, even though it wouldn't have really mattered because they are also not venomous. Unlike the Nerodia fasciata, this snake had very smooth scales. I can't remember if this one was a male or female. When we let it go, it really did race away. quenby sc
