  • One of the most commonly encountered species in the Southeastern U.S, black racers (Coluber constrictor) are extremely athletic diurnal snakes that are often pop up in unexpected places. However, this is a nonvenomous species and there is no reason to fear these shy reptiles!

      They really don't have teeth, they use their bite as a punch pretty much, which is pretty effective on the size prey they typically go for, they bite enough force to disorient and then either pin prey to the ground or in shallow water to suffocate them

      ​@@HaVoKisthebetterSuMmErSI grew up catching these things and taking tons of bites in the process, and yeah, they have lots of needle sharp, but short teeth that point backwards. They can carve you up pretty good if you pull away from them. If you just let them bite, they will needle you up a bit, but usually very little blood.

      It’s a snake my damn mini greyhound bites harder. He got good aggression, if I give him a treat and go for a good boy pat on the head after it’s an instant bite. I can tank a bad dog bite I’ve worked at doggy daycares. My mini greyboi bit me one night on my hand and it was bleeding a little worse than it should, I looked closer and this little sweet angel boy knicked my artery. I’ve had a scar where he bit for like a year I still love him but I’d be lying if I said I’d cry when he’s gone. Bro is a demon

    One about that size just scared the crap outta me taking the trash out. It got 'caught' inside our masonry block fence in the backyard. I tried to 'help' it over the wall with a long pool pole and it did a very aggressive strike on the pole and took off like lightning trying to escape. I hope he finds his way back out of the fence cause im done.
