Could you post one of that baby with a ruler or something next to it?

Or alternatively just tell us how long it is.

Don't get much cuter than that.

he's around 12" (304mm) long.
I haven't really put a measuring tape on him or checked weight but he's going into shed so now might be a good time.
careful handling
and lots of patience

Hey TheMAC, did you catch that yourself?

You use a probe, which snakes don't particularly enjoy.

I am NOT sure its a "he"
You have to probe the anus to tell and I ain't takin that route without some help. :)

My daughter found this lil guy in the front yard.

She knew not to touch it and to come get me.
I listened to what she said and took her seriously.
No one got hurt and we have a fat healthy juvenile cottonmouth.
He did shed the other day and the shed was 11".
that looks pretty close to his actual length. But he's a fat lil bugger. :)

I did catch a speckled king the other day.
Another juvenile.
As soon as I get my pics uploaded Ill post them.
