Nothing too exciting, but my first snake of 2017 was this broadbanded watersnake on Jan 2nd at Brazos Bend SP. Lots of gators out that day too.

I'm not what you would call the outdoors type, but we found this little guy in our front yard this afternoon while the kiddos were playing in the leaves:

I love this thread.

If you put me in a room full of rats and possums I'll stroke out. Graveyard dead. But for some reason I am fascinated by snakes and have pretty much zero anxiety or fear around them.

That's not what a valentine snake looks like.

Don't google it.

This was the last snake is saw in 2016 (on Christmas Day).
The year of the rat snake.

Pretty sure that's a black mamba.















Not really, but I've never seen a rat snake that color.

Pretty sure it is a rat snake. Here are some other pictures that might be more clear.

Perhaps I wasn't clear. I KNOW it's not a mamba. Just commenting that I'd never seen a rat snake that color before....now that I've looked closer (and since more pics have been posted), i can see the pattern on the snake making it a dead give-a-way.

It has been 16 degrees the past two nights in Nacogdoches. Does much colder than normal Temps have much of an effect on snake populations? I remember hearing that the unusually cold south Florida winter from a few years back had a dramatic effect on the pythons.

Not really. The snakes in FL are mostly from tropical places around the world and barely tolerate cold temps.

Native snakes of Texas and most of the US are acclimated to periods of cold temperature. Think about all of the snakes in the Nac area and look at their range. Most of them go way northeast where it consistently gets this cold.

Limon,

I know that you know that the rat snake is not a black mamba. I was just going along with your joke.

Also, if it were a black mamba, it never would have been posted because I would not be alive to upload the picture.

I didn't follow up on it but maybe just pest removal. I've gotten plenty of snake removal calls before because people don't want them at their house and would rather me come get them than kill them.
