Thanks! Patchnoses have been on my "always wanted to catch" list for a long time. It was a bit odd to experience a snake that looks like a garter, yet acts like a racer.

Very enjoyable account, Tim! I appreciated the habit, invert, and people shots as much as the herps. It helped me feel like I was there.
