I was working at our Glide Slope site today, and as I walked outside I stepped on something squishy. I thought I had dropped a paper towel, as I'd been doing some cleaning. Imagine my surprise when I looked down and saw this cute guy. This gopher snake is almost 5' long, the largest one I have caught in the last year. I let him go in the sagebrush near the site, as I have not had much luck with pet gopher snakes. They seem to get surly in captivity.
