7 Foot WC Eastern Coachwhip!!!

BlueKing Sep 16, 2007 11:30 PM

Thought I would share a nice picture of a special animal! This big boy came from the sandhills of North Carolina. I measured him at 82", but that was with a slight wave/kink in his body, so I'm sure he's right at seven feet (I added a dollar bill for scale)! I usually don't post in this forum, as I have mostly kingsnakes, but I love those Coachwhips (especially Easterns)!!! They are pretty animals, even if they ARE mean! Too bad I don't have room for them. If I did, I might just breed some! Amazingly, I found a hatchling in the same area as where this one came from only minutes later! Lucky that this big guy didn't find him first,lol!
This boy is FAST and I mean FAST!!!

Anyone got pics of an 8 footer???(I know they're out there!)
