From KHOU 11 News FB page...

Looks like they edited the caption since about 100 people informed them this is NOT a Copperhead!

Finally found the pics of the rattlesnakes I took while fishing in my kayak. The 2014 one is from East Matty and the other two are from West Bay.

Props for staying composed enough to take a picture with one of those in the water by you! Not sure I'd have the presence of mind....

not sure why but it does seem like rattlers , in spite of their reputation, are tasty treat for a number of animals especially other snakes.

An actual venomous snake in close proximity people and livestock. Interesting place to find one.

For others that might not be aware, that's a copperhead.

Great stuff. That black timber is sweet!

Top snake is a northern watersnake.

Are those present in Texas? That one stumped me and I'm pretty good on most Texas snakes.
Sorry, the pic of the water snake and the moccasin were both taken around the same lake in the Memphis, TN area.

Saw a baby moc on the same lake a couple days ago but not seen much else so far this year.
Where in Memphis? I live out in G'town and have seen a few this year.
Actually those snake pics were taken in Germantown at Grove Park lake.

Wife caught a photo of (I think) a couple of banded water snakes having a snog just off a trail in Hershey park today. I'll post later when I figure out how to host the pic and we're clear that staff won't ban me for snake porn.

My aunt "did lots of research" and swears this is a "water moccasin because you can see the eyes when you look down at the head from above". #BSLM

I've told her over and over "IT'S NOT A WATER MOCCASIN!!" "YOU'RE ABOUT TO HAVE ISSUES WITH MICE." She thinks I'm an idiot.

I'm guessing it is the result of multiple blows and misses with a garden hoe.

Great thread idea.... I know to check it when it comes back up near the top.

I am glad Blindey got that picture posted. I thought "having a snog" was something you do at a bar.

Wife said she sees those type of snakes all the time at Hershey lately. First time, she freaked out because she thought they were water moccasins or something venomous. After showing her pictures of water snakes and explaining that they eat rats and bugs, she just tries to shoo them off of the trail before they get run over by a cyclist or stepped on by a runner. I think she felt bad that she may have interrupted their love session but better to have blue balls than a snapped spine, I guess.

Sadly not my picture, but a neighbors. It's morel mushroom hunting time here in NE Kansas and people hit the woods in droves, particularly after a little rain like we've had this week. That is a morel you see in the top left part of the photo. ...below that, NOT a Morel.

Very cool Sean, a massasauga. Can you give me the county? Those snakes have a patchy distribution and it may be a neat sighting.

Right on the Osage/Shawnee County line in Kansas. ...don't think it's all that rare around here.

Am I missing seeing the head & rattle on that thing?

I couldn't ID from that pic but I've never seen a snake in Kansas. The handful of times I've been there it was pheasant season.

You can't see the rattle but the head is in the center of the coil, just right of the leaves.

Rat snake trying to eat duck eggs. I sent him back under the house back to do his job eating mice. He struck at my stick but was otherwise very compliant.

Great shot! Wonder how many he could have gotten down?

Couple recent venomous snakes:

Coral snake in shed, hence the dull colors


Copperhead as found outside of West Columbia

Hard to tell on my phone but his head sure screams racer to me. Might be a little long though.

*Just watched again, Pretty sure it's a buttermilk racer. I'll wait for 12f mane or one of the gurus to confirm
