I caught this gorgeous Ring-snake today.
Full of sass too
What I found weird but interesting was at the tip of its tail; a pointy end?
It used it to try and stab me multiple times. Felt like the end tip of a fork, but did not break skin.
I was thinking regrown skin over bone? But the way it was using it was making me think otherwise.
Very odd behavior from this species since I find them all the time and have never seen this, nor this kind of behavior with its tail before.
I did release after a couple of snaps
