East Texas, late '70's my attitude towards snakes was a lot different back then. All snakes were considered evil.Sean98 said:
Bigger question is why the hell are you killing all these snakes?

Found this guy today while bird hunting.
I know, I know, vertical filming. Still a cool video.
He was super chill when I picked him up and moved him around, but got super pissed once I put him back down.

Bullsnakes are mean buggers...

Rat snake? 5+' and was playing dead
That appears to be the case. Why did you scare him? (Jk)

Is that not a Rattlesnake? Why were you picking it up?!?
It's a nonvenomous bullsnake. Their bark is much worse than their bite. They have a pretty bad temperment in general though and definitely will bite you if you mess with them, but they try like hell to scare you off with their grandstanding first.

Like badace said, not a rattlesnake. It's a bullsnake. He was staged up right along a cattle trail in the Sand Hills of Nebraska waiting for a rodent to come along, but we came along instead. He was really pretty docile while I was handling him but then got agitated when I put him back down. I used the opportunity to do a quick snake training session with my dogs. They were curious when he got all puffed up but the e-Collar made them less curious real quick.
Good snakes who try to imitate rattlesnakes to ward off bigger predator species. All in all they're pretty cool and probably my favorite snake.

Found another, or maybe the same, baby rat snake hunting Geckos around my back porch last night.
Whoa... you saw a snake that wasn't a copperhead?
Bullsnakes not only look a little like a rattlesnake, they are also capable of a stuttered hiss that mimics the rattle
The first time I heard that hiss I thought sure I was looking at a rattler, even though the sound isn't exactly the same as an actual rattle of a rattlesnake.

His copperheads have now started skinning other snakes to wear their skin and lull him info a false sense of complacency.
So I'm doing volunteer work in the Conroe area. Someone told me to be careful and sent this picture. First, what is dis animal, and second, is it possible to be in Conroe (maybe a released pet), or is it fake news? Thanks [img]

Finally got it, helping out Rosco. Fake news or possible? Also identity?
Apparently no one can post images today...

You need to email to someone on here. I don't have a good private email otherwise I would offer mine up.
Looks like a Burmese. Definitely not a local either way... not sure that is Conroe though. Plants in background look, off.
It is plausible that someone's pet escaped and is roaming around neighborhoods. Good thing not a lot of people have 8-10ft+ Burmese pythons as pets in TX.
Thanks, that what I thought
Additionally, a Burmese python is very unlikely to go after an adult human. Maybe an African rock python or a reticulated python, but not a burmese.

Exactly. And we're talking about a 20' snake (maybe 18 on rock python) before that is even likely.
I dunnno that's a small citrus tree in the foreground, could easily be ligustrum in the other yard.
I'll call it plausible.

Tell them to chop it with a machete. Last thing we need is damned invasive snakes cruising around. I know it's probably cold enough to kill them off in the winter, but no need to wait if they can see that one.

I'm right there with you. TA seems to be constantly changing the ways to add pictures. For me, I was using the "insert an image" button a couple weeks ago when I was told that you don't need to use that, but just paste the link into your text and it will pop up. That works for me, but I still don't understand why you have the stupid button if you don't need it, or if it won't work with certain links. There's got to be a better way to post images!Spotted Ag said:

The skinny tail is throwing me off, but the pattern on the head look like rat snake.
