Kinda cool, aren't they? The one in the first pic looked like it had some tread marks on it...LOL. Just kiddin'.
Once I was walking along a paved mtn. road when a whipsnake rushed out about a foot, or so, and grabbed a lizard. Then it saw me and froze in position, long enough for me to snap three photos. Point being that sometimes, I think, they use freezing to go undetected, and sometimes they flee because they know they've been seen.
Saw this big girl this summer on Madera Canyon Rd. She was rather old and the color was fading and she escaped into a burnt mesquite...
