The primary myth concerning coachwhips, that they chase people,
likely arises from the snake and the person both being frightened,
and both just happen to be going the same way to escape

Well, about 8 years ago, I had one chase me close to 100 yards, and he was gaining ground. I thought it was a myth, till it happened to me twice. The second one chased about 40 yards. And if they were going the same direction as me, they were zig zagging like me..

I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

Great pics. Awesome snake. They do NOT chase people. They will only bite if grabbed. They will go the other way 100% of the time if given the opportunity.

Cool snakes but only because I'm in the U.S. If I was in Africa I'd swear it was a Mamba. They look alot alike.

At my Grandparents place up in W. Virginia they had black racers they called em, and they would chase you far as you would run and when you stopped they stopped and when you ran again they'd chase you. They were completely harmless but they put up a good bluff!!

I gave it plenty of opportunity to go another way,,but it was going my way. I have seen probably 100 CW on the ranch over the years and these were the only 2 to do that. I am here to tell you 100% that they were chasing me.

Cool snakes but only because I'm in the U.S. If I was in Africa I'd swear it was a Mamba. They look alot alike. They do. I thougt I would be cool and pick up a "chicken snake" and show my friends at the lab class we were headed to. I stopped the truck opened the door next to what I thought was a chicken snake. It raised up about 3 feet off the ground. The only thing that ran through my mind was Black Mamba! No time to consider they don't live in Nacogdoches TX. I slammed the door shut and burned out of there. My snake wrangler days were over for a very long time.
