Since our last episode was about rubber boas, I figured this was fitting.

Striped Skunk (Mephitis mephitis) and Rubber Boa (Charina bottae). Caught on game camera by Tim Torell. We suspect the skunk bit the snakes tail causing the snake to coil around the skunks neck to avoid having its head bitten! Wow!

This encounter was published in the March 2021 issue of Herpetological Review as a Natural History Note.
