Snakes on the Brain

It took me over a year to find this snake!

This is the Striped Whipsnake. The fastest species of snake in northern Utah. Despite that it's quite common among Utah's deserts, it took me over a year of constant searching in many different locations until my hard work paid off. This in my opinion is a highly underrated species and unfortunately I had to find 4 individuals that had been hit by cars before seeing my first one alive.
