Condition
Dead
Animal
Striped Racer
Observation Date / Time
I found the larger snake dead on the road, but noticed a tail sticking out of its mouth. I made a small cut and pulled out the smaller snake. Evidently this species is prone to cannibalism.
Edit, September 2020: observation written up in <a href=https://ssarherps.org/herpetological-review-pdfs/> Herpetological Review</a>, number 51(3) Natural History Notes, page 623.
