Dog found it next to the house about 15' from where we both would have taken our 1am pee break.
It's the 2nd one we have found and the reason we tell the kids to pay attention.

What is that growth looking thing towards the tail end of the rattler? Skin shed? Leaf?

We have a family of cotton tail rabbits behind our back fence and the occasional field mouse running around the back porch. There's also a rat snake (I believe) living under my air conditioner. I've only seen about 4" of its tail slithering under the outside unit.
We're going to have a thorough cleanup of the back yard this afternoon. Maybe I'll have more pictures later this evening that 12f mane can tell me to take somewhere else.
Oops...I should've had a more keen eye.

The OP said to post pictures of your finds. I wasn't deliberately trying to troll - just made a bad joke. Don't take it personally or so seriously. I'll back away and enjoy the thread as it develops from here on.
If I get popped by the mamba living under my A/C this evening, I'll ask my wife to post pics once she reaches the fifth stage of grief (or the celebration dies down).
Ask her to please include pics of the affected limb! (That's a joke in case someone is looking to get butt hurt)
I love all that is TA today, particularly considering I know some of these people in real life.
I'm just surprised he had time to kill the poor little snake between softball practices/games.

That post belongs on the softball board!!! Or something...
I don't see any sea snakes... Take that picture somewhere else
His personal thread? This thread exists because of the contributions of many, not just 12fmane. This has also been enjoyed by many on here and has helped people identify snakes they encounter in the outdoors.
The whole point of this thread was to share encounters with snakes, whether they resulted in release, decapitation, or relocation, with the rest of the OB. If you want to derive that this is anyone's thread and there might be some underlying motivation (other than the education of snakes or helping people ID snakes) thats on you.

Please tell me my sarcasm meter is working right. I admittedly dont know snakes from worms, but this thread has been helpful to id common ones... (fat tail is cottonmouth and the second is obvious corral, right?)
Correct sir!

A little levity is not a bad thing.
What say you? Bull snake?
Yes, bull. Let it live. But if you have time, play with it a little and get it to do its rattlesnake imitation.

beautiful snake.
Yes I let it live. Found in crossing the road around some circles between Dalhart and Cactus. And yes I did get out and play with it. It coiled up and was mimicking a rattlesnake perfectly, front part of body formed the "z" shape and started shaking it's tail. One of the prettier ones I've seen.
***Disclaimer - This is not my picture and I have no idea who took it, where it was, when it was etc.... I just thought it was very cool to show how beneficial so many snakes can be.
Thats a cool pic.
So how long will it take a King snake to kill a copperhead like that?
