The thing that has me doubting racer is the fact that its mouth isn't attached to the handler's arm.


This! I see non-venomous snakes described as "harmless" all of the time....While the harm may be on shortlived, a racer will impose his attitude on you and make you think he's worse that he actually is.

Great photos! Might have to take a walk in the woods soon. Seems a little early in the year but the temps obviously have them moving around.

Here’s a few bites from a black-masked racer I caught last year. That first “oww” was really more of a “you a-hole” oww than a painful “oww”.
