Stacy - can you believe I was called again (different house) last night? Did the same thing for this coachwhip: https://www.naherp.com/viewrecord.php?r_id=376628

Thanks! I ended up bringing it home to nurse the lacerations it had. It shed last week and looked pretty good, a few scars. I fed it a mouse and released it this past weekend in a canyon about 1/2 mile away from point of capture.
