It was my own fault, I don't blame the snake in the slightest.As for why Carolyn's brother killed it... her daughter nearly got bitten & they didn't know whether it was venomous or not. Although I may not approve of killing snakes, I can understand why her brother shot it.As an addendum to my previous post, the more I look at the photo, the more convinced I am that it's a coachwhip. There aren't that many types of snake in the U.S. that reach 6.5ft and I can't think of another of that colour. It's not a typical-looking coachwhip, but I can't think of any others that length & colouring. It's also got the typically bulbous and darker head of a coachwhip. The only thing that isn't typical is that the colour doesn't fade behind the head; but, as I previously said, some don't have that. All the other American snakes I know of that grow to that length look totally different.Brand new forum athttp://beaverlandforum.d4a.comMore than just science
