Interesting look to that one, the only one I have seen had bright yellow bands, that one looks pale. Nice find Jeff, how long was it? Ours was about 10", which I think is about maximum size right?

Hi,
That one was pretty small. I'd say between 6-8 inches. Here is a pic of one I saw way up the 395 last year,it was one of the largest ones I've seen.It was around 16 inches.
