Juveniles can definitely be tough! The racer is going to have more prominent patterning towards the front, whereas the coachwhip just has some banding that doesn't really form a pattern

I thought a racer but Liam suggested otherwise and I was not certain.

@JeffreyDuby and @Liam, I am not a herpatological expert in any manner. I have to say, Jeffrey that when I looked up the racer there were some greak google images that were on point. Liam what do you think? Looks like a racer to me.
