If my aunt knew there were that many snakes in one place in town, she'd leave Fairfield so fast she'd create a vacuum.

Cool looking critter! They have so many variations sometimes it is hard to tell. Wife picked a baby up yesterday who got a slice from the mower. Concerned he wouldn't make it. Didn't look to bad, just set him back in grass to hopefully grow up and do his good work.
