Awesome snake fight!

Found these two coachwhips yesterday having it out. At first I wasn't sure if they were fighting or the other F word but after 40 minutes they had not locked up and both were bleeding. Either a female was close by or it was a battle for territory that has the female. I posted a lot more pics on the Cafes and Campfires Facebook page and a short video on Instagram if any of y'all are on those. I'll post a long video soon. All pics and videos with iPhone 7+ I'm impressed with the two cameras on this phone.

Great pics.

thank you sir

Awesome....will watch the video later...

Awesome! Saw a coachwhip a couple days ago in the field. Cool snakes.

Very cool, thanks for sharing

Great photos sir, well done! Very agressive snakes without a doubt. A coachwhip chased me out of our barn when I was about 8 years old and I'm still scared of snakes. Only snake I've ever had move at me instead of away from me. Thanks for sharing your quality pics.

Watched the vid, that was cool! Them suckers were getting after it, lol.

Loved the pics and thanks for not killing them.

Those are some great pictures, thanks for sharing How close were you?

they are very cool snakes and get pretty big

Lots of CW's here, always heard they would chase you, never believed it until I got chased,,twice. Very, very fast snake.

Several times inches but they would let me know to back up, Id get a warning strike and some hissing.

That was.... an awesome snake fight!

Who was faster?

Awesome pics, I have none of the other social media. Post video on the forum.

Cool Video and great close up pics. Thanks for sharing.

I don't have that other stuff either, I want to see the video!!!

Me too! Very cool pics!!

I'm loading it to YouTube and will post it here soon

Started out as a trot, then full run. Ran by a brush pile and it went into it. Chased me about 75 yards. The second one was about 40 yards and it just stopped and turned away. Have come across a bunch of them and that's the only 2 that chased me.

Cool snakes. Thanks for sharing!

Pretty neat to find them like that. I watched a pair of rattlesnakes do that years ago. Pretty sure it was 2 males.

Very good pics. Just a little too close for me !!!!

Here's ten minutes worth of the fight. I don't know who won, after 40 minutes of filming and photos I gave up.

While watching the video I began to wonder if they ever bite themselves by mistake when tangled up like that?

Those are awesome pics dude!!!

I thought of that while filming it so I watched closely but never seen it happen. There are several things I wonder now after seeing this.

what he said

That is cool!

pretty cool

If you watch you will notice that they hesitate a second before biting....I figure they can smell (taste) the difference between each other....be really neat to see.

Thanks again for posting......

Awesome pics
