Went out to the garage this morning, and found this guy. He wasn't a happy camper when I first grabbed him to remove him from the garage, bit me a couple times, but after holding him for a while, he calmed down quite a bit, especially for a racer. So I thought I would see if he would cooperate for a few pics. I took him out to the vineyard to release him and put him on one of the plants and he was actually very cooperative. Hope ya like the pics....

I love how the shape of their face makes them look just as pissed and they usually act lol. Glade he let you get some pictures. They are quite nice!
 
I love the angry little face too! I thought for sure once I put him on the vines that he would bolt, but he just took his time, sat nice and still, almost posing for me, my sons loved watching him too. It was kind of funny, after his initial and expected first bites when I pulled him from the box in the garage, and about 15 minutes of handling he was really quite mellow.
 
Racers are really cool. I caught one when I was a kid. The little guy bit me about 4 times. After he calmed down I put him into a tank and got my mom to come see him. She made me release him, though from time to time I could see him out behind the garage. He would never let me close enough to get him again...LOL
