California Gopher Snake
California Gopher Snake |
||||
|
||||
| When annoyed gopher snakes can quickly become defensive. | ||||
|
||||
| They glare at you, flatten their heads, vibrate their tails and hiss loudly. | ||||
|
||||
| They will even raise their heads and strike repeatedly. | ||||
|
||||
| These displays are meant to scare off predators. | ||||
|
||||
| The largest, most beautiful and aggressive gopher snake ever encountered. | ||||
|
||||
| Most gopher snakes are sweet-natured and only want to be left alone. | ||||
| Why Don't We Do It In The Road? | ||||
|
||||
| Along a nearby trail, encountered two very large gopher snakes. | ||||
|
||||
| This beautiful pair is just doing what comes naturally to ensure future generations. | ||||

Travelling from San Miguel to Parkfield,
found this beautiful gopher snake crossing the road.
|
||
 |
||
| Unusually calm, it didn’t once flick its tongue; hiss or strike and it had lovely brown eyes. | ||
