A non herpers find in Las Cruces New Mexico.

Post by Ross Padilla »

My cousin's friend recently found this in his driveway in Las Cruces NM. Thought I'd share.

Wow, that a nice King. I was down there at White Sands Missile Range all week. Is it true they like to eat Crote's?

That's interesting. I figured this was just a random screamer from the area. Its definitely one of the nicest splendida I've seen. The really dark head pattern really stands out to me. He said it was a beautiful snake with greenish hues to it.

Yes, they'll eat those and any other kind of snake they can over power and swallow.
