Thanks man, it was a fun find. We were driving up and Joe just yelled boa....I didn't even see it, and it was huge on the rd, LOL. The best part was right after, we decided to cruise that stretch for a minute, and we saw a baja coach, the thing looked like a black mamba in the rd, I gave chase...I ended up loosing it, I even had a full hand grip around part of the body at one time, let go to get a better grip, gone again, LOL. It was a funny looking attempt at a capture.
Nice Uni..
