Not long once they get a grip and suffocate/stop blood flow. They are strong snakes.

Sorry....read the other recent post regarding snake biting. A man in Thailand was on the crapper when an 11 foot python that was in the plumbing, latched onto his manhood.

I'd say kings constrict more than indigos. I believe indigos just crush and tear up the head/neck of their prey until they die.

A few years ago I came up on an indigo eating a rattlesnake. It was about halfway down and the snake got spooked and spit it out. This is what the head of the rattlesnake looked like:

How about a consolidation of snakes you guys see in one thread this year? I'll answer your ID questions and post some as I see them to keep it at the top.

Snake season never really ends here so here are a few I've seen so far this year.


Prairie kingsnake




Small piece of metal that had 5 copperheads under it

Years ago, a city relative of mine was going to help me move a stock tank from one pasture to another. The stock tank was already drained and empty so all we had to do was to load it on a trailer.

We walked up to the tank and my cousin started to bend over to stick his fingers underneath the tank to pick it up. I told him not to do that.

I then grabbed the top rim and lifted it up to see underneath it. There were three rattlesnakes within a couple of yards of where he was going to stick his fingers -- the closest with its head a couple of inches away.

Never heard of gardner, but garter snakes are common and neat little snakes from my part of the world. The most common rattlesnake mimic I know is the bull snake. Very cool snakes, they get very big. When imitating, they flatten their head, coil, shake their banded tail, and make a rattle-like sound with their mouth. Quite convincing. I've had one strike at me, after I had positively identified him as a bull. Still made me jump.
I got bit by one once in junior high. It definitely hurt. Never did tell my parents, though.

A few years ago I found a large bullsnake on the road near the church. Afraid it might get run over, I was determined to get it off of the road. We argued that point for about 15 minutes -- it was his road and he wasn't going to move.

I finally emptied a cardboard box of oil cans in the trunk and used the box between me and the snake to herd it off of the road. That snake was mad as hell and struck the box repeatedly.

Found this one while kayaking at Beavers Bend. 18-24 inch range I guess. He didn't like it when I drifted closer so he left.

Clearly you're mistaken.... No water moccasin would ever tried to avoid human interaction. They are possessed by Satan himself to attack all persons, particularly children, that come within 50 yds of contact.

Cool pics! Glad he wanted to get away from you as much as you probably did him.
