Several authors have published specific information regarding the food of _C. c. flaviventris_. Hurter (1911:171) caught a blue racer in the act of swallowing a copperhead (_Agkistrodon contortrix_). Taylor (1892:331) recorded finding garter snakes in several large racers. Pope and Dickinson (1928:53) recorded instances of blue racers feeding on racerunners (_Cnemidophorus sexlineatus_). Ortenburger (1928:181) examined 22 stomachs and recorded: 1 large garter snake (_Thamnophis sirtalis_), 1 vole (_Microtus pennsylvanicus_), 1 frog (_Rana_ sp.), 31 crickets (_Gryllus assimilis_), 4 decticines, 2 acridids, grasshoppers (1 _Hippiscus_, 2 _Melanoplus_ sp., 1 _M. confusus_, 1 _M. differentialis_, 1 _Dissosteira carolina_, 1 _Sphargemon collare_, 1 _Trimerotropus_ sp., 1 _Orphulella_ sp., 1 _Chloealtis conspersa_, 1 _Chortophaga viridifasciata_, 1 _Omaseus_ sp., 1 _Pedocetes_ sp.), and 2 caterpillars (1 noctuid, 1 sphingid). Gloyd (1928:123) recorded a hatchling glass lizard (_Ophisaurus attenuatus_) in the stomach of a juvenal racer. Force (1930:31) found a racer eating eggs from the nest of a cardinal (_Richmondena cardinalis_) and another racer eating eggs of a red-wing (_Agelaius phoeniceus_). Gloyd (1932:403) recorded an observation of a racer overpowering and swallowing a copperhead. Anderson (1942:210) recorded remains of crickets and grasshoppers in feces. Hudson (1942:55) recorded a racerunner (_Cnemidophorus sexlineatus_) in the stomach of a juvenile and recorded an earless lizard (_Holbrookia maculata_) 3 lizard eggs, and 14 grasshoppers (_Melanoplus differentialis_ and others) in the stomach of another. Marr (1944:484) found a harvest mouse (_Reithrodontomys montanus_) in one. Breckenridge (1944:118) recorded stomach contents including a garter snake (_Thamnophis sirtalis_), a frog (_Rana pipiens_), 3 crickets and 2 moths. Mossimann and Rabb (1952:27) recorded that a racer disgorged several grasshoppers. Fouquette and Lindsay (1955:411) recorded that a blue racer had eaten a harvest mouse (_Reithrodontomys_ sp.). Carpenter (1958:114) recorded that one blue racer had eaten a green snake (_Opheodrys aestivus_) and another had eaten a grasshopper and a camel cricket.
