Snakes so fast that they are even called racers?
Not only are these snakes fast, they are beautiful too! Back in Wisconsin, we had some of these, but they were a protected species, and I never found any. Down here in Arkansas, though, they are all over the place.
Racers are members of the colubrid family, and there are many different species of them. They are a slender, nonvenomous snake that will bite to defend itself. (Just check out the video to see how quickly they can strike.) They are an egg-laying snake that will eat rodents, lizards, birds, eggs, and even other snakes. For more info, check out the video.
The information is the video is original but I did have a quick refresher from this source.

That racer surely didn't like you picking him up this morning....We have a lot of them around Florida. They will stick their heads up out of the grass and chase you down.
They all seem to run from me, but I do hope that they start chasing me one day. It'll make it much easier to catch them!
I was working on a vacant house the other day and this snack had a pair on him the size of coconuts.... He stuck his head up out of the grass and jetted right towards me! Not sure if it had babies around but I thought it was weird too.
Papa, do you realize how bad-ass you look in that first photo?
Superhero or supervillain; I see your pic and bro, in the next Spider-Man movie I nominate you as a lock to play the part of...
Kraven the Hunter
Cool, I did not realize. Thanks!
Absolutely - you may want to have that photo enlarged and framed, amazing pic man!
hahahaha, exactly
Right?!?
Powerful Papa!!!

No problem, I figured you were. ;-)
love reptiles good post bro
Yeah, Reptiles are really cool. Plus, they don't bite as hard as many mammals.
i used to have an iguana and a yellow headed box turtle
Hiya @papa-pepper , wow we need much courage and guts to hold it! It is impossible for me but i love watching you doing it! Great share
@progressivechef
I am glad that you enjoy it. Thank you for letting me know!
Nice shot @papa-pepper..with snake tounge..
Yeah, they sure are cool looking like that! Thank you @bien!
Your welcome papa-pepper..i was shock when the snake bite you..i was say ouch oh my god..but like u said not venomous...😂😂
Yikes! Did that hurt. I'm new to your wild friends series. I will have to go back and watch. Love the picture of the mole. Do you randomly come across all these critters?
Most of the time, I'm always finding something, or other people bring animals to me. It is a fun series.
That is awesome! You must need to watch your step with that many types of snakes hanging around. I will go back and watch them all. Thanks.
Please enjoy the other videos and let me know what you think.
I just watched the one highlighting the mole. Oh man! So cool. He looks like a grumpy old man that you just woke up out of bed. I will keep watching thanks.
It is really fast (Razer) in no time he started biting you. Hope it won't hurt that much. Nice video liked it
Yeah, he is crazy fast, and he wasn't even that warmed up by the sun.
He's a fine racer! Thanks for the information. Great action photo & loved the video.
Yeah, he gets kind of wild in the video!
That's understandable! I don't think he ever planned on being a star on a YouTube video with @papa-pepper 😊
Lol! Probably not!
I finally got to see the wild man get bit. You are a brave guy brother @papa-pepper. The racer must have tiny teeth and no fangs.
A LOT of little teeth. Like angry velcro or something!
It must have hurt , I almost heard you yell mommy.
almost...
so brave papa :D
Great post, racers are pretty cool! @jbcoin
Thanks for those man you are living the life I dreamed of really entertaining content <3
Awesome video! Two years ago my son convinced me to get him a baby corn snake and I can't believe how attached to it I've gotten. I was never afraid of them, I even used to catch little grass snakes growing up in the Pine Barrens of NJ. (Yes, New Jersey has more to it than parking lots, mafiosa, and Snooki 😆). But this little guy is so cool.
I really love your delivery, calm and informative rather than overly dramatic. I think you brought my blood pressure down a bit just watching. I'm on to watch the series from the start!
Wow amazing video! The racer snake is certainly aggressive. Thank goodness they are not venomous. Glad you weren't hurt. I forgot that snakes eat rodents. The mice are so bad this year in our area. We need more snakes to balance it out!
Snakes are creepier indeed, but i heard that they are not much to be feared of, the attacks only if we harms them, cool videos i watched it holding my breath haha, thanks for sharing.
I scare of snake
awesome shot of it coiled and ready to strike! We only have black racers down here in Florida. I've got about a 3-footer that lives in my backyard, they're awesome to have around to keep pests away.
Yeah, they are really cool!
Beware the serpents!!! They are fast and unfriendly, lol. Thanks for the share. God Bless.
Excellent post brother! Family and I enjoyed as always! Upvoted!
Thank you and God Bless!!!
What a big snake smile? Haha

quisiera recrear tu ultima foto .pero tendría que saber bien si son venenosas o no
😳👍🏼
You sir are crazy...... in a good way.... @papa-pepper
Very cool. I wouldn't mess with any snake. Guess I just don't know enough about them. All I know about the black racer is it will chase you with its head and neck area raised. I knew they weren't dangerous but still avoided them. Cool video as usual. Thanks!
@papa-pepper I was so amazed that you could actually hold a snake just like that. I cringed when the snake bit u. I am scared of snakes! Thank God it's not venomous
Great news...
You always have interesting, original post! I identify better with the cottontail rabbit. And, how are the little ducklings doing?
Pretty nice post here, another snake :S I will never touch them hehe
I am happy to follow you because you always post about animals because I like animals
nice post followed
@papa-pepper ...WOW, just discovered your videos and definitely following. I'm brand new here so my votes aren't worth much, but I'm checking out all your older posts now. Your videos make me miss my farm back in Alabama (I'm currently working for the USAF in Japan)..the sounds of nature behind you make me homesick. I'm a new fan!

O Lordy! I'm terrified of snakes!!! Watched the video at the edge of my seat...you are one brava Papa Pepper!
Lol. Not so brave, just comfortable with the worst case scenario. Thanks for watching.
I just passed one on our gravel road, racing across left to right. I tried to run over him, but he was too fast. It was at least 5 or maybe 6 feet long.
