Herpetofauna: One Life's List

Coluber flagellum flagellum
Eastern Coachwhip

Elk Co., Kansas
April 24, 2010

I've seen a number of Eastern Coachwhips over the years - on roads and roadsides, some alive, some dead, but I hadn't gotten my hands on a live one, until this visit to Kansas.  This snake was found under a large rock on the top of an open hill.
