Re: Ciao Larry,Salud, Marco! I would make a poor
engineer, because I find it difficult
to make out distances. This is
definately a male, and can reach
lengths of 6 feet or 1.83 meters.
Yes, they are not a venomous snake.
In Utah, I have seen them MIMIC a
venomous snake by standing up and
vibrating their tail. They can also
make a hissing sound, like air being
released from a tire. Grazie, Marco!

Re: Ciao Larry,Yes, you are exactly right. Like in
the movie, 'Alien vs Predator!'
There is a lot for snakes to eat in
Arizona. Several species of lizards,
and they also eat other snakes; like
in the movie "The Ten Commandments."
This snake was drinking water from
the stream when I first came upon it.
An excellent swimmer, but always keeping
its head above water, as all land snakes
do. It really is a remarkable creature.
ciao, Larry
