CordutzarI made a new friend outside of the laboratory this week. A very large Gopher Snake looking for a November snack. I was surprised to see him out. It has been cold at night. He is a lovely fellow.
This fellow was over 6 feet in length. I encountered a much larger one about two-weeks prior. The larger snake was twice the girth of this snake and likely two feet longer. I first thought that someone's pet python had escaped due to its size, but it was just a very healthy and happy Gopher Snake.
