Not trying to be the Martin of the group here (simpsons reference), but....
Technically, the bull or "blow" snake is a member of the colubrid family, which is an umbrella group of "common" snakes. They are not classified as constructors, although they WILL constrict prey too large to consume live, in order to subdue it. More often than not, snakes like these enter burrows of critters and gorge on the young while they can. They don't have time to be courteous enough to humanely euthanize their prey before they send it on down the digestion path.
On a lighter note.....
Cool pics KSC! Hope you enjoyed your personal tour of one of my favorite places in our state(s)!
