Gopher Snake
Written by Shirley   
On Saturday 04/10/10 while our riding my horse in Whiting Park, I saw a gopher snake in the process of eating a full-grown cottontail rabbit !!!!.....I've had snakes as pets since I was in 5th grade....gopher snakes, garters, boas, and pythons, and I've never fed any on them a meal THAT much larger than their head! Granted this snake on Saturday was a good 5 feet long, but still, it was working very slowly on that rabbit!.....
Oh, the snake was in the cement 'drainage' ditch that runs parallel to the dirt riding trail along the east side of Glen Ranch Road, between the entrance to Whiting Park (the parking lot) and the traffic light.
