First one of the year

StrokerScamp,
You are right on with the exception that the King snake and the Coachwhip are two different snakes. A coachwhip, while non-venomous, can be mean as hell. Pick up a sho-nuff coachwhip. That ba$tard will beat the beJesus outa you.

On another note, I got my first of the year yesterday as well. 13 rattles and a button. A smidge over 5 1/2 feet. You see in the pic I'm holding him pretty well straight out shoulder high. About 9 inches of him still on the ground. Gonna make a nice belt. lol.
