Here's a big wild caught sonoran we caught last summer out in west Texas... he was about 4-4.5', and MEAN!

Gophers are awesome! Very intellegent & personaable snakes! I've posted this photo before. This is one of my fave snakes. A big (about 4' and growing) W/C from a canyon a few miles form home.

Very nice!

Here's a little girl I caught around that same locale. She in contrast to that big male is a TOTAL sweetheart, and some really nice coloring on her:

Like yours, she's growing like a weed!
