Blue Beauty I found this Blue Racer (Coluber constrictor foxi) on April 30th in a spot where I caught herps as a kid. This snake was being courted by a Black Racer. Blue and Black Racers willl intergrade where their ranges overlap. These are very fast snakes, which are quick to bite. Click here to see another photo
