*Copperhead Racer*

http://www.zippyvideos.com/8194375505419076/sv_a0064/

That's me holding what my workmate happily informs everyone is a "Copperhead Racer"....he knows, you know.
I had it pegged as a Ratsnake or cornsnake...Ceiron successfully identified it as a California King Snake.
Innit lovely ?

er.....Noooooooo I don't like snakeys You are very brave for holding it though

Oh God I get the shivers just looking at it.......I feel like its on me.......

er why the gloves.lol

it looks about as vicious as a daisy

i got a lovely little viscious hatchling corn here if you want.lol

getting more vicious too the git.lol

cute snakey though

I'd rather take my chances with the Daisy thanks Ceiron

lol, i will convert you foxy

Well, mainly because they were what I wear at work, and I hadn't got around to removing tham when we found the snake...if you look at the pic I posted earlier, I had not got gloves on then...
But also...well, it wasn't my snake, and whilst it seemed hand tame, until I was sure I didn't want it to take a nip.
And yes, it was as vicious as a daisy...and I can't find where he went....
And now I want on of my own...hopefully have one in the next couple of weeks

Oh, by the way, if it *had* have been a Copperhead Racer, as my *so knowledgeable* cow-orker was telling everyone, I'd have had *two* pairs on....

lol if it was a copperhead racer i would of been running the other way.lol

sod two pairs.

my venomous snake handling encompases the british adder and hognoses but thats it.lol

i wouldnt risk somethign like a copperhead racer.lol

not withotu a tube and a snake hook.lol

plenty of snakes around gaz, if you knwo where to look.lol

trying to think wheres near you.lol

closest i can think of would be th snake shop in sheffield. very aptly named.lol

otherwise its local breeders and stuff.

There's a shop in Coventry, near th old football ground, by the name of Godiva Reptiles. I'm going to have a look in there tomorrow, make sure I can get frozen food there, and see what kind of King/Rat/MilkCorn snakes they have.
SWMBO has got it into her head that I need to get a blue one....
