Pretty sure it's just your average ribbon snake but it's hard to distinguish color and pattern based on your photo.

It's 100% non-venomous and no threat to you or family.

My yard guy sent me this yesterday afternoon. It's tiny, but probably not the only one around.

Definitely a Coral snake. What happened? Did he run over it with the lawn mower or go ballistic and beat it to pieces with something?

It was between the curb and lawn and he got it with the trimmer while edging.

I think you are trying to link the entire page as an image.

I think you are trying to link the entire page as an image.

If you're using imgur, it has changed recently. You can't click the drop down bar and select the pre formatted ubb code. Now, you have to click your image once it uploads, select copy, then manually type in your img tags on TexAgs and paste the copied image link in between them.

Thanks. Learned something new on this thread. Again. BTW, I saw what looked like a scar on him. Is that what it is or something else?

Ribbon snakes are so damn fast. They're almost impossible to catch. About two months ago, I had one cornered and went I went to grab him by the tail, he launched out, bit me on my pinky finger, and the little sob drew blood. It didn't hurt more than being scratched, but kinda surprised me more than anything.

Speaking of moccasins, anyone else called them Cotten Mouthes back in the day?

Tyler Texas late 60s early 70s.

Assuming you pronounce that "cottonmouth" and not something fancy and French sounding (with all those crazy "E"s you stuck in there), then yes, a lot of people do.

Their accepted common name is cottonmouth. Moccasin is the nickname.

It hasn't worked on mobile for me since they changed things up. The code copy tries to link to the page, not the actual image.

We called them garter snakes growing up but not sure if that's accurate.

Burnsey used her picture to tell his story about a ribbon snake. It is a western ribbon snake.

Weird, I just select code from the drop down menu

Maybe they fixed it. I had hell posting the pics earlier in the thread because they kept showing as empty gray boxes. I haven't tried the direct link way since then.

Ribbon snakes are so damn fast. They're almost impossible to catch. About two months ago, I had one cornered and went I went to grab him by the tail, he launched out, bit me on my pinky finger, and the little sob drew blood.
I have one that hangs out near my garage area that's a bit bigger than him. We have a mutual understanding that he tries to slither out and scare the bejeezus out of me when I least expect it, then he hauls snake butt into either an expansion joint in the driveway or two or three other small hidey holes depending on where he gets me spooked. I don't mind snakes, but I have that dominant gene that does not allow my mind to comprehend wanting to grab them with my hand, even the passive guys.

I've herded him out of the garage a couple of times using a piece of cardboard, that is my side of our mutual understanding. He seems to be really good at moving just when I'm stepping around a corner so you catch it out of the corner of your eye.
