My wife and I found this baby Striped Whipsnake, Coluber taeniatus, under some asphalt shingles out in the middle of the woods for some reason. His clouded eyes, filled with fluid to help him slip out of his old skin, made this already aggressive species even more pissy. His close cousin Coluber bilineatus has had more teeth in me in these last years than any other species. These snakes are assholes.
