Pretty cool that they had a striped racer. Too bad theirs is stuffed, and looks half way emaciated.
They are common where I went hiking a couple days ago, but I have yet to catch one, as they are very fast and wary, as their sign says. Often, all you hear is the noise and see the movement in the grass as they disappear, and you are left thinking " I think that was one".
Fortunately, I came across someone that needed to find a home for one.
They are truly awesome snakes. Insanely fast and agile, it grabs small mice from my hand with lightning speed as I enter the top of the cage, and hits them perfectly every time.
