From Cheyenne: “The caller manages a complex of apartments and was calling on behalf of a tenant that had seen a snake on their patio, but no longer had eyes on it. The snake had made it through a tiny gap under the door and into a storage closet off of the patio. I had to pull out multiple sets of patio furniture to find him in the back corner. It turned out to be a coachwhip. The fiesty fella attempted six bites (three were successful) and was relocated to a pack rat midden under a giant ironwood tree. “
