So I returned from Daytona with a few south florida mole kings and several patternless goni, brooks, and outer banks pair, etc etc. I rebagged stuff and put half away, however one of the outer banks made a hole in the bag and escaped. I did not know it, but a Striped Racer escaped also the day before.

So today I am walking past a tank stand and notice a body and tail of the racer out from the side of the back of the stand. I grasped the racer and it was not moving and I pulled a bit and it did not move. So I ran my hand up its back and found a lump and pulled out the banks king which killed the racer.

I took a picture and of course would not permit the cb king to eat a wild caught snake so I unwrapped the king from the racer.

I then started to massage the racer and it slowly popped back to life and seems OK.
