Notes

Found by landowner who contacted Texas Parks & Wildlife. They contacted my office, and I went and retrieved the snake, and released it in a wooded area nearby. Obviously recently fed, not sure on what. Approx. 4' long

Haha...actually the first thing his wife did was make sure all the cats were accounted for. My guess is that it was probably a rabbit or something along those lines. On a side note, for more scale, those tongs are 40" long.

Thats an impressive meal. Was the landowner missing their house cat? LOL
