Notes

This snake was in the "blue", about to shed. It looked very pale for a "black" racer; in fact, it looked pale brown or even blue. There was a slight tinge of blue at the edge of the ventral scales, like a blue racer. Length was 56.5" of which 13.6" was tail. It was agressive and restless. It was under a piece of plywood at the edge of the woods.
