Our Bull Snakes are harmless but impressive! The record is 8 feet, 6 1/2 inches, but most adults are from 4 to 5 feet long. Often called gopher snakes, they prefer to eat burrowing mammals. We're proud to have these beauties at Estero! The rats? Not so much. Video courtesy of Ranger Abran! | Estero Llano Grande State Park
