Field Notes

Description:

Texas coral, eating a rat snake.

Habitat:

Falcon Head Golf course

Notes:

One of the biggest Corals, I've ever seen!
She was left alone to finish her meal.

3 1/2 to 4ft long Coral snakes are not uncommon in this area! Actually, out of the 15 or so I've personally found, only two were under 30 inches.
