Notes
Masticophis was not available in the drop down selections for Genus. I encountered a roadkilled Coachwhip while driving on County Rd 660. When I got out of the car it became apparent that it was still alive. I took it back to inspect it but it died a few hours later. Large adult, at least 5 feet in lenght.
