I thought this record was interesting enough to be posted by a 3rd party.

Walking around between my blacklighting sheets at night. I had set up two, each lit by several cheapy DJ blacklights powered by portable USB battery packs. You can learn more about these lights and my typical setups here: https://youtu.be/tavmTa7WoPk

I am going back in my field journals to resurrect some of my old data. This observation came as part of a field herpetology class I took at Texas A&M with Dr. James (Jim) Dixon as an undergraduate student. We spend the weekend at a ranch of another faculty member (Klussman) just west of Enchanted Rock State Park.

I apologize for the poor quality of the photo but I was taking the picture with a poor camera and a poor eye to detail at that time.

Very large Texas Indigo snake who spent 2 days trying to pull another snake, who was laying eggs, out of this tree by my mom's house. It killed the other snake, but gave up after the 2nd day of trying to get it out... was seen leaving through a hole under the house (located on a private lake). It was very cool!
