Possibly being the largest subspecies of gopher snake on average, mature specimens can have an average weight in the range of 1–1.5 kg (2.2–3.3 lb), though the heavier known specimens can attain 3.6–4.5 kg (7.9–9.9 lb), with larger specimens being quite bulky for a colubrid snake.

However, it is exceptionally slow, with snakes rarely moving faster than 2% of their length per second. [5] Some snakes, such as the brown tree snake, use a "lasso-climbing" or "lasso locomotion" technique to climb vertically by wrapping around the vertical object, including poles intended to stop predators.

Leopards are great climbers and can carry their kills up trees to keep them out of reach from scavengers and other predators. Arboreal locomotion is the locomotion of animals in trees. In habitats in which trees are present, animals have evolved to move in them. Some animals may scale trees only occasionally (scansorial), but others are ...
