OP and others are retarded and VERY gay. If you can't identify a snake, turn in your man card and continue being gay.

My son is 5, loves snakes. At my cabin we can usually find some garter snakes.
Last weekend we were looking and he says this looks like a good spot for a snake, flips over a dead log and yells out “dad, I got a blue racer over here” I thought he was just kidding but was messing with the log so I went over in time to see the last 6inches disappear in the log. He was right lol. Log was very rotted so slowly started taking it apart but never found it, It was likely a juvenile, but my son just said “dad… it must have went between your legs “ Probably right because I never saw it again.

STOP posting pics of stuff that can be used against you. Some States will give you more time for killing a snake then selling coke!

Ran across a cute little gardener today, walking the dogs. Made sure they gave it a wide berth, in case they decided to play with it.
Did the same with a decent sized Rat Snake a few weeks ago. Of course, I don't have to wonder if any snake around here is a Copperhead or a Moccasin, because there aren't any. We MAY see the occasional rattler, but I've never seen one. |

Quoted: Quoted: Dead snake = good snake. Anyone who even touches one needs to have their head xrayed. Better scared and a dead, albeit misidentified snake, than spending a week in the hospital, possibly losing a limb or death and out $50K because your insurance won't cover the anti-venom. Yes, that happens with regularity. |

Lulz. Next time let me know, I'll send one of my toddlers to collect that demon and release him into Grandmom's garden for critter control.

That's just sad. That snake was nonvenomous and beneficial. Sorry but that's a bad kill. Snakes aren't out to get you for fricks sake.

Quoted: Quoted: Dead snake = good snake. Anyone who even touches one needs to have their head xrayed. This. Don't care. Kill em all. Agreed. I won’t run screaming but if I see a snake around my property I’m killing it. I’d rather have rodents than snakes. |

I lost how many times I shit myself during this thread....
So, now that it's been declared a poop-thread, I vote for it to be shut down |

Right off the top of my head I can think of three people I know that were bitten by venomous snakes, one copperhead, one diamondback and one timber rattler. They didn’t die or were permanently injured. They all spent one night in the hospital.

Quoted: Dekays brownsnake maybe. I tried to pick one up while at the coast a couple summers ago. Not a friendly fellow. View Quote Looks like a big Dekays to me as well. I came along a minute too late to save a gravid one last year. . My neighbors were proud they'd killed a baby copperhead. Once I told them what it was, and what they do, they felt bad.

Lol Copperhead- 11ish year old girl walking in yard after dark with no shoes, stepped on it, was bitten on the side of her foot. Diamondback- 15ish year old girl helping her mom put pine straw around the shrubbery next to the house. She was putting it around some boxwoods, didn’t see the snake at the base of it, bit on the hand. Timber rattler-25ish year old guy scouting hip high cotton, reached down to pull on a branch, snake was laying in the row, bitten on the hand. I purposely didn’t include any drunken idiots that picked up a snake they shouldn’t have been messing with. None of them died, lost limbs or were permanently injured either. Not saying that it doesn’t happen, I was just pointing out that it’s unlikely. |

Just got a corn snake out of the lid of my pool skimmer. About squealed like a little girl when I lifted the lid, but caught him and threw him in the woods. Pool is enclosed so I was a little surprised to find him in there.

Midget Faded's top out at about 25". A lot more work needs to be done in that general area, there's so much going on there. Same thing in N central Az. Midget Faded's have a small range there that also overlaps with Prairie, Great Basin, and Grand Canyon rattlers. Second pic also looks to be Midget Faded. You may very well be in a Prairie/Midget Faded overlap area where hybridization occurs. |
