Because one of our local snake experts called me an electrician and insinuated that I killed the snake.

...and the other disparaged my DOGS by claiming THEY killed the snake!!

The first I can overlook. The second, NEVER!!

The snake was discovered in his current condition, sunning on a dirt mound. He was returned to the same place unharmed.

Todd did kinda insinuate it was dead
I figured I could stir up some opinions on why the dorsal stripe is fudged up in two spots - near Sean's gloved fingertips and between his bare pointer and thumb.

Yeah, I though those were burn marks at first, but saw it was dirt on closer inspection.

Pretty sure it's actually damage and not just dirt.





That's not a closer photo, just zoomed in from the original photo.

It had definitely suffered some damage/injury at some point but appeared to be on the trail to recovery.

More than anything it proves how stupid warm we've been this fall and early winter. Snakes still out in mid-December??? What the actual...

Hopefully we'll fix that this next week. We've got some negative numbers in the forecast.

Sean98 may not be an electrician, but I have heard that he occasionally shows up for work smelling like skunk.

Biggest Indigo I've personally seen. He was about to get run over on 59 near Beeville.
I caught him and moved him back out away from the cars.

The other is a Shott's Whipsnake. Mean little *******.

he tried to bite once. After I got a hold of him he was pretty tame.

My experience is about 50-50 with them.


They are more aggressive when it's hot out.
