Found this guy guilty of being way too close to my four year old and dog yesterday in the backyard. He was sentenced to death by tallow tree trunk.

Line across the eye is a sign, right? Trying to see if I'm actually learning what I read on here

Mascara = cottonmouth

My wife remembered that, and she's identified several correctly since that time.

My guess was rat, but the black and white kind of threw me. Corn snake maybe?

I just want to say thank you to this thread.

I was riding a bike taking my kids home from school in my well-to-do, little to do with nature subdivision of Cypress and saw a yellow bellied water snake in the storm bayou. Everyone said it was a Moccasin. I calmly said, " See the black edge vertical lines on the edge of its mouth, On top of that, look at the round eye without a line through it. Also, he is swimming below the water. That is definitely not a Moccasin" Everyone stopped the kill it with fire mentality and just watched. I sounded like I was on dual survivor for 2 seasons.

I knew nothing about snakes before this thread other than kill Mr. No-shoulders .

What is it? I assumed water moc due to the smell it had as soon as I hit it with that shovel.

If you haven't already, can you please describe differences of these two snakes? I seem to miss this ID a lot.
Perhaps post some pics of color variations in TX?? I'm with Lex, if I couldn't see its belly, I'd have assumed cottonmouth too.
Great thread by the way.

Not only does he have it in his grabbers, but his arms are almost totally extended.

If the guy was 6 foot tall, the snake in that photo would be nine feet long.

You can't really see the head well in this picture, but water moccasins have a face stripe that I'm sure someone can go into more detail on than I can remember. Another thing is body shape - moccasins seem to be really fat and then dramatically taper down to their tail. This snake doesn't have that body shape - it very slowly tapers to a point.

Is that right, guys? Have I learned stuff?!
