Whipsnake giving birth






Here is a photo that my dad (Stanley Hooten) took on 8/29 out on our private land near Valle De Oro. This is a whipsnake (Coachwhip) snake. My dad says this one was about 7 feet long and it's GIVING BIRTH to the baby snake. The female snake at first looks as if she's eating another snake, but my dad sat and watched this female snake pull that baby snake out of her with her teeth!!!!!!!!

Thanks.
Staci Hooten
