Interesting

I had to look at that for a minute before I realized what I was looking at. Yes, the ratsnakes tend to be very gifted climbers. Great pic.

Ha, yeah, it's a Transpecos Ratsnake. They can look glued to vertical cliffs out there in w tx if you could see it, almost looks impossible. The road herping is illegal in tx now which I'm sure most of you other herpers have heard. Don't know how that's going to turn out. Allot of conflict about it right now. Good news for me is that I might have a good connection to some land owners out there that have 1000's of acres, but I don't know if it'll work out because of "liability" issues. There's always the waiver. Have to try it.

Well I really found the snake going up the chimney in the fireplace after it got out. I put the snake on that lantern and it climbed there where you see it. I thought it looked cool so I took a pic. I took it down of course after the photo shoot.
