I'm going with forced perception and going to believe it isn't dead.

(Seriously though can't fault someone looking out for kids.)

Actually, I believe it is reverse forced perspective, as the stick is being held away from the photigrapher. My sister saw a pretty big one on her porch a couple of years ago, and their houses back up to a nicely wooded creek/gully near Crosby.

No expert but that appears to be a pretty big coral

That is what I replied to her text. Assuming that board is a 1x4 or ~3.5" wide, I was guesstimating 28-30".

My sister's neighbor sent her this one that they found adjacent to the fence between their yard and my sister's. As you can see, it was really close to the play area for their children, so unfortunately they killed it. Beautiful large coral though...


I've said it at least once on this thread. A big coral like that makes a badass hat band for a felt hat.

My sister had this in her back yard next to the steps to the pool.

It had 14 babies and was beginning to give birth.




Where bouts ?

Trapped and released another copperhead. This one was very active, big, over 2 feet. Never struck at anything, but really was trying hard to get out of the trap.

Seems like it's been a while for you. Maybe all relocating is working ... or maybe they're coming back

Sounds like that minnow trap is for real. Are you baiting the trap?

Anyway you now have a new hobby. Doubt you run out snakes
MouthBQ98

No bait, I just put it along the back of the house or a fence line, and the snakes tend to follow along these and find their way inside.

Can you provide a link or details on the minnow trap you've been using?

Typical cylinder typed minnow trap, works.

Tried to get 2 skins from facebook neighborhooders so far this summer, but they usually chop the hell out of them...

I heard about this story from a postal service employee. Evidently someone shipped cobras from China to Los Angeles in potato chip cans. King Cobras in Cans



A special agent of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service opens the first of three chip cans that held snakes instead of snacks.

That beats the ol "fake can of peanuts loaded with fake spring snake" trick every time.

No lie.

If there were any justice in this world those smugglers would be popped by these snakes and die long before they're able to attempt smuggling them.

Found this little snake on the porch tonight (Fort Myers). Thought it was a worm at first. Now I think it's a brahminy blind snake.

I found a peach colored one simmilar to that in east TX long ago.
Ayto Siks

I bet a peach one looks exactly like an earthworm.

Just heard that the skin from that coral is going to be donated to the urban buologists at Sheldon Lake State Park for education use. Should have an accurate measurement of it in a few days.

I thought so too at first but wouldn't surprise me if it's a moccasin looking at the head

I was thinking diamond back water snake. But at least I was right it isn't likely a moccasin.
