Watch the video below - you have to move fast, dive without hestitation, and ignore the slashing bites of a coachwhip. Within five minutes, I was on the trail of a coachwhip. Armed with my GoPro strapped to my chest, I began to walk the sandy areas surrounding the Canadian River where I knew there would be lots of snakes.
#MY MILKSNAKE CHEWED ON ME HOW TO#
I finally decided that I needed to show them how to catch a coachwhip. While on a trip to New Mexico, the coachwhips had been eluding the other herpers with me. So how do you catch a coachwhip? If they can remain camoflauged even when bright pink/red, zoom away quickly into the briar patch, or bite you in the face when you corner them, they certainly must be a tough snake to catch. Same Coachwhip as above 30 minutes later upon release However, if left on their own, they will wake up and quickly disappear.
Experiencing this with a coachwhip is really weird because they are such a fast, agile, and incredible snake in life. Have you ever held a dead snake? It is like a heavy limp rope that just dangles there. A coachwhip's death feigning is not the writhing, shitting, and flipping back over that a hog-nosed snake does. They die right there in your hands and if you haven't experienced it before you really would think they are dead. If fleeing and offense don't work to deter a human predator, coachwhips resort to death feigning.
#MY MILKSNAKE CHEWED ON ME WINDOWS#
The paper snowflakes covering the windows in the kitchen.The chirping from the new chicks we just got.The big dog running around the house checking on everyone.Chewbacca (the mean cat) begging for food.The youngest clicking his tongue because he is happy.The noise coming from the living room (the oldest is teaching the middle one how to play the guitar).
The wonderful dinner we just ate - no leftovers!.I have owned him for 8 months, and have never had this problem. I see no sign of any disease, mouth rot etc. I even have tried dangling it in front of him on tongs, nothing. He'll go right up to the mouse, and just pass it up, yet he seems hungry and hasn't eaten for a week. Last 2 nights, a week after I feed him last, the same thing is happpening. A few days later, he finally ate one, so I figured all was ok. Threw the mouse away and tried the next day, same thing. I tried introducing it again to him, and again, no luck. I came back an hour later, and it hadn't touched it. I put the mouse in there, I saw it move to the cup, so I assumed it would eat it. I placed a thawed mouse in there, a couple of days after the shed, it was out moving, so I assumed it was looking for food. After it's last shed, at the beginning of May, it started.
