This one and a much larger one were flopping around in the cul-de-sac the other day. Both took off when I came near. This little one was moving a little too fast for my camera settings. Had to do some googling to learn that only the immature racers have such coloration. Much more comfortable photographing sharks than snakes, harmless or otherwise. :-)
