It took a couple trips up to the sand counties on northeastern Illinois, but I finally found a Bullsnake, several in fact.  Details of my adventure can be found in the journal Bullsnake In A Bottle.  The top photo at left is my first Bullsnake; the bottom is a fine Kansas specimen.

Impressive animals, in particular the six footers as thick as your wrist!
