Outdoors & Nature Insider

Kevin Mims

I'm a freelance writer and videographer, and spend most of my days exploring Florida's natural wonders from a kayak, a bike or rambling down a hiking trail. A Florida native living in Citrus County, you'll often find me watching the boats go by on the Homosassa River. I'm always sharing stories, photos and videos, so follow along and together we'll discover Florida's natural treasures.



It's a Snake! Check out this Black Racer Video

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 aggressive, 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!
