Great series of photos! Consider adding your spotting to Snakes of the Southwest: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/12491282 and the Snakes of the United States: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/12027210

Louisiana was the same way. I was stoked when I got to Texas and finally saw one.

Nice! Coachwhips are extremely difficult to spot in Missouri. I've yet to see one in the wild.

Thanks, he was surprisingly still for a coachwhip
