Notes

Temperature was close to 100 degrees Farenheit and I was just leaving the park at about 50mph when this guy went flying across the road in front of me. Stopped in a hurry and found him in a bush near the road, where he tried the fake-rattling thing for a while. Left my camera before I looked so I didn't get a voucher. Didn't look quite big enough for a coachwhip to be a full-fledged adult - probably just shy of 3 feet.
