It's a Snake! Check out this Black Racer Video
September 25, 2009

While out on a hike a few weeks ago, I got a video of a black racer - one of the more common snakes in Florida. The black racer (or Southern Black Racer/Coluber constrictor priapus, if you prefer) isn't venomous, but can be a little agressive, especially when cornered.

Here's your chance to take a look at one up close without having to crawl around on the ground and get face to face with Mr. Racer yourself.  The things I do for you, my friends. Watch the video, and have a great weekend!
