That's an eastern black-necked garter snake. They are hill county and west animals and it's likely a frog in the belly. One of our most beautiful snakes, IMO.

Thanks, 12f Mane. One of the locals suggested that we had seen what he called a "blacksnake". Now I know the rest of the story.

Thanks 12f Mane! I agree, it was a beautiful snake. And it was not in a hurry to go anywhere either. Good to know we've got them around.

I had an interesting encounter over the weekend, but couldn't get a pic. I found an isolated pond in the woods near my house (thanks google maps) and hauled my kayak down there with the 4 wheeler. Little pond was loaded with bass. I caught one that was about 2 lbs and reach in his mouth to get the hook out and poking out of his throat was a snake head. It was still alive as it opened its mouth at me but was unable to move as it was almost completely ingested by the bass. I couldn't tell what kind it was as I saw just the head. I didn't have my phone handy and was not about to look around for it while holding that fish.

A couple pics I got of the several snakes that live around the golf course pond behind my house. I spooked up 7-8 of them this morning.

yessir! Thanks to this board I actually was able to determine that! Actually had an argument with one of the golf course workers because he swears they are cottonmouths because of the "Triangular" head...LOL. Saw a couple that resembled checkered garter snakes in the water, but I am not sure if they swim or if they were something else.

That they do. You should see the size fish a 4-5fter will eat.

That one I got the pic of looked to be at least 3-4 feet long and was quite thick. Scares the hell out of golfers that go looking for balls down there!

Saw this guy crossing the running trail by Buffalo Bayou under Memorial in Houston this afternoon. I saw another one swimming in the bayou but couldn't get a good enough shot.

I know it's not poisonous, but what is the species? My guess was speckled king snake?

I had to do a doubletake when I saw this because I thought my wife had a texags account. I knew I didn't take it, but we saw the near exact snake Saturday. Carpe milkum spotted him first, and hollered. Perfect markings, and behavior. Fun to see right in our back yard.

I'm guessing that one was on the 2016 thread but I had missed it. Here's an article about the two headed snake from last September.

This one was spotted midday by a SAHM in a neighborhood just south of College Station. One of the other neighborhood housewives apparently attempted to kill it with a shovel, but fortunately it got away.
