One of my personal eastern coachwhips (Masticophis flagellum flagellum) getting some natural sun, & a look-over after being treated for berry bugs (little red mites. Most wild snakes in Florida have them).

Eastern coachwhip (Masticophis flagellum flagellum). Found at the RPI facility. We soaked the snake for rehydration, then swabbed it for SFD (no signs of concern, just monitoring potential disease in the area).

A small, skinny brown snake with yellow racing stripes is seen moving across a log. It’s tongue is scenting the air and there are grasslands in the background.

Also, here’s a noodle and don’t forget to breathe today. Striped Racer (M. Lateralis). #herps #snek #snakes #yearofthesnake #masticophis

Coachwip today. My friends call it a couch whip. I sort of like it better.
