Here’s a rather large (by large, I mean about 14″) nightsnake from New Mexico. This species is of a tougher build and more squat than the Desert species I’m used to seeing in Phoenix … pretty cool, and puts on quite a threat display that I wasn’t expecting. I regretfully didn’t get any good photos of the display before it balled up into this more familiar “uncle” pose.
Snakes of the Niiiigiiiggghhhit!
