When you say you "need ID quick!" does that mean that little coachwhip is striking at you like crazy and you want to make sure you're going to survive?

no, it just looked like a glossy snake, which here is an endangered species, if it was i was gonna report the wild life people right away.

... Last time I checked the Cal. glossy snake wasn't even listed as 'species of special concern'.

Do I need to go look up my regs again.

I'm not from Cali, but I'm pretty sure that is a coachwhip. I am not sure on the species.
