I told Pipes that the only thing I was sure of is that it's not a trouser snake.
I had no idea what it was. Since I was unsure if it was venomous, I let it go. I figured the odds of it being harmless were pretty good.
Austin Greenbelt yesterday.
Red and yellow, friendly fellow
Seems pretty long. Good specimen there.
All went well. They don't even bite according to the OB.

That's what I was afraid of. Should have known better, carry on.

It's funny because if someone believed me they could die

Keep in mind in the US that rule mostly works (there still can be aberrant "weird" patterns that pop up from time to time) but outside of the US it doesn't always fly. There's like 60 kinds of corals and the banding patterns vary wildly. Some are super beautiful.
He's actually one of the quicker, funnier ones on the boards.
Did you try and whack him with that cane and then a log?
Ha no. I did have to put him out of his misery after I got the pics, though, because he got injured by a piece of equipment. I used this stick that he's investigating to smash his head.
RIP in peace, buddy

A little love, cuddle, and a warm bed might have healed him.... he was just a harmless rat snake
Seriously. I would have guessed cottonmouth.
It is

Another moccasin, I've been seeing lots of these guys everyday, still haven't come across an aggressive one that I didn't provoke.
Juvenile cottonmouth?
It is skinny and doesn't have an eye stripe... But my only experience is this thread. Ursus and 12th will know better.
Yes, that's a moccasin. The "sharp" nose profile in the second pic is another giveaway.
It's skinny but does have an eye stripe. I also agree with long, nose point and over pronounced defined ridges on edge of face/head lead me to say cottonmouth.
One of the guys almost stepped on this one, didn't see him even though he's in short grass. The cottonmouths are out and about this morning.
You know I know ya'll do some pretty cool work and I've thought to myself, self 'it would be cool to go work with FTI' but I have now changed my mind.
Where is this field of venomous snakes?
FTI, you killing those **%#$rds?
This is a really fun project. I like snakes and gators so that stuff doesn't bother me, it actually adds to the fun.
