It is black on the head and neck, tan elsewhere. It reaches a length of nearly eight feet. Its slender build, color, and large, overlap- ping scales cause it to resemble a braided whip; this occasions the common name. Some people believe that a Coachwhip will actually whip a person, but this is completely false; it is entirely harmless to man. It feeds mainly upon mice and rats, but some- times also eats lizards, other snakes, small birds, or eggs. It is one of the fastest reptiles, and has been clocked at 18 miles per hour.
