Good for you breeding Eastern coachwhips--such magnificent beasts. I like the pix you included, especially the snake in the grass. That sighting groove in front of the eyes--how many times a week do I end up in Cujo's sights as he stares me down from inside his cage. Something primal about looking into the eyes of a coachwhip from the front, from a few inches away. Not a good thing if you're edible...which he is quite sure I am...
