....those of us... "in the know"...have long scoffed at occasional tales (tails) usually by hardrock miners or ranchers who are long baked in the sun...of the dreaded "sonoran no-headed snake", sometimes refered to as the "2 tailed snake"...

I was absolutely blown away to capture what appears to be an adult specimen this past week. It had just stung a horse in a corral which promtly bloated up & died...

Hooking & tailing is a 50/50 proposition w/ these beasts...cuz if you do reach for the wrong tail...you too will soon be bloated...

Taxonomy for this beast is still being unraveled, like the monster, it has no vent on either end...so its toxicity likely continues to increase throughout its life...
