Those are really cool little snakes (the worm snakes). Do they get much bigger?

Thanks. Here's another photo of the Racer:

Very nice finds, Sid.

Nice. Sometimes I think it would be awesome to try to have a display collection of all the different types of racers, whipsnakes, and coachwhips- but one guy can only take care of so many snakes, especially with a full time job.

LeAnn, This is an adult. Average length is around 8- 10 inches

Thanks to all for the comments and James the racer was a nice specimen. Definately had the Racer attitude.

Cool! It would be very easy to overlook one of those worm snakes. What kind of habitat do they like?

I normally find them in wooded areas, under decaying wood and sometimes under rocks.
