The Foxy Fox Snake *pics here too*

[Removed_2815]

Hello,
Here are some photos of various Fox Snakes (Elaphe vulpina gloydi) that I surveyed. Basic measurements and weights were collected and PIT tags were also inserted.
Enjoy!

Ya got to love em. I have never seen an aggresive one though. The biggest one I ever saw was at least 5 ft DOR.
