I screwed up by telling my wife about it and showed her the picture of the snake. Now she is refusing to go to my farm for a while.
I'm not seeing how you screwed up. Doesn't sound like a bad result...

I need to give my dad a very basic book about snakes in Texas and dog ear the pages with rattlesnakes, rat snakes and the various water snakes. We still get into arguments when he starts talking about the rattlesnake that he killed outside his house that did not have a rattle. After 2 years he still gets mad when I tell him it was not a rattle snake. He reverts back to his days as a youth working in the watermelon fields in South Texas and all the snakes laying up under the watermelons. The convo always reverts to him asking "just how many watermelons have you picked up with a pissed off rattlesnake sitting under them".

Haha, I know the feeling. My dad is long gone now. He was very well read, a farmer/rancher, and outdoors his entire life. He called most things correctly, but he had names for certain things that were not correct but maybe they were the same as what his friends called them. In particular there was the chicken snake and the mouse snake. I am guessing that most rat snakes were his "chicken snake" and most garter snakes were the "mouse snake". He obviously knew his venomous snakes, bull snakes, and coach whips.

He was the same way with the names of native plants. Although many are named similar, he had "buckbrush" and "skunkbrush" and probably a few others.

My dad is good with his venomous snake ID as he was always the go to snake removal person at the Sheriff's Department, but I've heard him call a hog nose a puff adder more than once.

I drove to three rivers today and when I got around Goliad, all I could think when I passed every creek was, is this snake creek?

A Copperhead is one of those beautiful things I'd just prefer not to see...unless it's behind glass or on a glossy print.

Interesting how the pattern breaks on the first one in his "middle section"....really full coloration on him too, not as "washed out"

Remind me to never visit the Everglades. I don't think I could sleep knowing the snakes there eat deer for fun.

Thought you guys would appreciate something a FL/Everglades fishing guide I follow shared on his IG- I would imagine that little Hells Bay skiff would feel like a canoe with this swimming toward you.

After this thread I don't think you could get me to go willingly to the Everglades.
