What type of snake is this? Got in our warehouse this morning and stuck in a sticky rat trap. Thought it just might be a rat snake so tried to pull him out and let him go but ripped him up.

Can anyone confirm?

Thanks I just looked up some snake pics and that's what I came away with too.

Wife ran into this guy last night while running. Thanks to this thread she actually knew what it was, even though it's one of the more easily identifiable snakes out there I'm surprised she remembered.

Looks like that is on the bigger end for a coral. How long was it?

Had to rescue this guy from the dogs...he wasn't all that appreciative, I called him some ugly names while dodging his bluff strikes getting him caught. Both my kids voted that I throw it on their mom, but I decided that would be too traumatic for the snake...

Both the reptile and your trouser snake.

Maybe it's just the picture, but it appears someone else ran into it before your wife. Looks kinda like it's been run over by a vehicle. Is it alive?

Yeah, dog got him once, but he was fine, I tried to get a pic when he was wrapped around my arm, but apparently I'm not that athletic, and none of those pics came out.

If I threw any snake on my wife my trouser snake would be hybernating for months

Found this guy in my garage when I was cleaning it out. Moved some rope off of the front of my dremel case at about chest height and this guy was coiled up taking a nap on the back side of the case. Thanks primarily to the Outdoors board, I immediately knew it was not venomous and most likely a rat snake. Took some effort but finally got it herded into a plastic bin and relocated to an empty lot down the street. It was somewhere between 18-24".

Next morning reached down into a box of towels and picked one up to find a tarantula sitting right next to where my hand went. It got relocated as well, both harmlessly. But I see way more tarantulas than I encounter snakes.

One of my wife's friends took this pic last week. This "little" guy was hanging out in a popular climbing tree at Holland Lake Park in Weatherford.

I'm going with Burmese Python which is nonvenomous so its beneficial.

Non-venomous can still choke out a yorkie

Well all right. I'll fire up the wood chipper. Say goodbye to Mr. Snuggles.

Found this at my front door. Happened today. There are confirmed water moccasins and rat snakes in this neighborhood.

Doesn't appear to be a very long snake and is slender. Highly doubt it's a water moccasin and not sure it's a rat snake either, but likely.

My guess is not a water moccasin because of how the tail appears to gradually taper and get really thin.

I was thinking the same but also leaning towards a coachwhip or racer.

Holy Sheit man!!! You now have an invisible western coral diamondback cottonmouth rattler loose in your yard! Haven't you ever seen the Invisible Man ?

I'd be fine with pretty much any of those (except a moc). Ordered some snake tongs today for safe catch and release of non venemous species.

Edited to not moccasin rather than yes rat snake because I read your post and had the same thought.
