coleonyxconnoisseurDescription
AOR gravid female. Photographed, measured, and moved in direction of travel. Ground temperature was 90F, humidity is decently high. Ambient temperature was upper 80’s though I forgot to take exact measurement. The animal was not very defensive, never offered to bite and only musked after approximately twenty seconds of handling. Interestingly, a transparent liquid oozed out of this snakes mouth after handling for a while. I assume it had just drank. Crossing road between two water filled ditches.

Is anyone in north Texas studying crayfish? 6 holes in our grant garden at the Butterfly Trail in Mesquite. They tend to get trampled.

Nice defensive lass, would not let go until body made contact with ground for a few seconds. Successful opisthoglyphous envenomation, very slight swelling and initially very minor bleeding. Bite mark darkened a bit after about 24hrs and is now nearly invisible.
