Southern Black Racer (Coluber constrictor ssp. priapus)Observer
karguez14r5hhDescription
Colubridae
Looks like a juvenile racer. Lacks the triangular head of a Viperidae and was out in mid-day up in some low vegetation. Moved away quickly after photo was taken so I assume it does not have any real defenses.
Early to mid afternoon, high humidity, very hot day, direct sun.
In the ragweed, Bidens, Rubus, and other low vegetation lining the butterfly garden outside of the Museum of Natural History.
I assume that the organism was sunning itself or looking for prey items because of its vantage point in the vegetation.
