I think the Bull snakes are not the breed same as the Gopher snakes, I caught a baby Bull snake less than 12 inches long and it was acting really aggressive coiling up, striking and hissing a bunch I caught it and took it to work to see if one of our supervisors,, he was raised in that area and was a American Indian who knew a lot about that area. he told me it was a Bull snake, not a Gopher snake
I've never seen a Gopher snake act like that, especially the hissing and striking.
I took it back home and let him go.
I do not let snakes bite me intentionally, their strikes where faster than my hands where when I was catching them Gopher snakes have a single row of teeth in the upper part of their jaws that are needle sharp but very short, thank goodness
The things I did was I was a kid I'm lucky to still be alive
