One of the best pictures I've ever taken. Ratsnake in a tree in Rusk.

Everybody has such pretty pictures. All I have is this guy.

Rob, that bullsnake is about to kick your butt. For being non-venomous, they've got some serious bluff going on.

Lol that is actually a gopher snake found in lajitas. Unfortunately that was not a bluff. OUCH

King Snake Eating a Copperhead, between Nacogdoches and Center



Another King Snake eating a Copperhead, west of Alto off of 294



Inquisitive Ribbon Snake from Shelby County


Water Moccasin that was swimming underneath the Attoyac River bridge on Highway 21 on the San Augustine/Nacogdoches County Line


A couple of Box Turtles I caught humping each other in the edge of a clearcut in west of Rusk. Not snakes, but how often do you catch Box Turtles doin' it??!!



These were all cell phone pics, too bad my old phone died before I could get them all off of there, I had a picture of an amazing Timber Rattler from eastern Angelina County

Probably about as often as you catch two BIG rattlers doin' it. Notice the dozer track they're laying across.

The BEST SNAKE EVER!!!! I wish I could get a couple of hundred of these to get rid of the tree rats around my house.

Ok then I know who you are.

Some of those snakes have beautiful markings.

kill them all with fire, buzzsaws, and .410s.

I have been chased across the pasture by one of those coach whips...scared the shizz out of me.

Any chance you fellas could label the types of snakes those are? Great pics BTW.

This may be the worst thread in the history of texags.

This. I'd like to nuke this thread just to be sure. If you slither across the ground on my land and you so much as look at me the wrong way, your heads coming off. I don't care if you are a damned grass snake, if you think you're all hard and want to curl up and pretend like you're gonna bite me...you goin' die.

Sweet thread. I'll post a couple later (though for Sean, I will not post the pasty legs in snake boots picture).

I was wondering how long it would take for the peanut gallery to show up.

Diamond back water snake in a Coors Light can:


Copperhead in Houston:


Broad banded water snake and 4 diamond back water snakes:

Not my photos and you may have seen these posted before. Purportedly a 15 foot Eastern Diamondback rattlesnake weighing about 170 pounds. Caught south of Jacksonville FL.







I bet KB Homes is not pleased that their signage was clearly visible in the background because it would tend to depress the market for new houses in that neighborhood.

No offense, but seriously?! I'm baffled by the amount of fail present among the OB population at times.

This is in Columbia County, Georgia.

i don't care what you think of me.

they slither and move without legs. they trespass and hide in my stuff in my yard. half of them are poisonous and i'm not smart enough to know the difference. satan posed as one. they they deceived Adam and Eve in Eden. God commanded me to bruise their head.

I was lazy at copy and paste from an email. A little searching turned up the St Augustine newspaper article on the snake and it was actually 7'3" in length.

Doctored for Sean's sensibilities. One of 4 inside my office a couple years ago.





A little different--

This is a snake I came across in the woods on a little bluff just off the beach in eastern Cuba. I think it may be a racer of some sort. Also interesting, I think I have read that there are no poisonous snakes in Cuba. Also have a picture of a snake in Costa Rica that I'd like to identify - it has the proper colors for a coral snake, but the bands don't go around its belly, which makes me think maybe it's an imposter -- I'll try to find it.

This is one of my favorites. This guy was in my driveway, and upon watching him closely, he went up a fallen tree branch. Its from a series of pics I took after running back to get he camera. It doesn't take much to make these guys coil up and become angry. Im pretty sure that a week later, he or his family members ate a crapload of eggs from my chicken coop. I have one thats all nice and cropped but this is all I could find on short notice.
