Pretty stoked when a friend text me earlier today. His mother-in-law's cat brought her a small snake and he wanted to know what kind it was. The fuzzy cell phone pic initially had me thinking Kingsnake or maybe a juvenile Black Rat, but the patterning was off. So I stopped by this afternoon and what do I find...
I was pretty excited, it's only the second juvenile YB Racer I've seen and only the third YB Racer period. I had a juvenile when I was a kid, but it was a fussy eater and I ended up returning it to the wild not long after I caught it. The other one that I saw was a spunky 3 foot adult that got away after one hell of a defensive display. Undoubtedly I would have regretted laying a hand on it had I managed to catch it, but I couldn't help trying. Can't wait to get this one settled and see how he/she does.
