We thought these two gopher snakes were mating, but it turned out to be just our dirty minds. After some scientists among our Instagram following commented that this looked more like two males, we shared the video with UCSB Prof. Sam Sweet, who has more focused experience with local reptiles (our curator is a generalist, who—as noted in our previous post—has to do duty on all vertebrates, from the tiniest frogs to the largest whales).

It’s a Arizona Red Racer and Gopher Snake kinda morning. Pretty unbelievable colors! This Red Racer Coachwhip Snake was hunting in a Palo Verde Tree. Coachwhips are extremely fast, and can lift the front 1/3 of their body 90º to the ground (or tree) allowing them to look for prey unlike most other snakes. The Gopher Snake is built very differently to hunt on the ground and in burrows. TheJeremyJohnson.com | Jeremy Johnson Photography

This is Buzz, our Gopher Snake, displaying tail vibration while he waits for us to finish cleaning his habitat! Tail vibration involves shaking of the tail in response to a possible predatory threat, and it is believed these snakes try to mimic the rattling sound produced by rattlesnakes. Gopher snakes come from North America, the same place where Rattlesnakes can be found, and because of their behavior, their scales shape and color, and the way they can coil their body, people often confuse Gop

Say hello to this tiny gopher snake who recently slithered into our care! 🐍💚 Gopher snakes are non-venomous and completely harmless to humans. In fact, they’re great to have around..they help control rodent populations naturally! Sometimes they get mistaken for rattlesnakes because of their coloring and bluffing behavior, but don’t be fooled..they’re just really good actors. If you spot one, give it space and let it keep doing its important job in the ecosystem! #GopherSnake #WildlifeEducation
