Field Notes
Description:
Coachwhips are highly variable in color, ranging from light tan, red, brown, and black. Some also have light bands on them. One good characteristic for IDing a coachwhip is to look at the tail, it looks braided. This guy was light tan all over and really cooperative for the photo shoot which rarely happens!
Habitat:
Found in the southern US in various habitats. This guy was found in a prairie.
