I wondered if this Bull Snake (Pituophis catenifer) had recently shed its skin. It looked bright.

Some say the Bull Snake is called a Bull Snake because of the ridge between the eyes. This maybe the best look I have had of that feature.
Turn the sound up. It had finally had enough of me.

Grasshopper wing. Someone had their meal.

Don't the rat snakes also do that rattling mimic? That was neat! And I expect you to get that sedge keyed to the species 🙂

I have seen the rat snakes do the rattling. I think I'm going to pass for now on keying sedges. LOL
