Western Coachwhip, final answer (for me).

What are other people thinking? I can think of maybe one other snake this could possibly be...

One admin said it could be something from another country.

It doesn't look like a coachwhip to me... but without more pics I'm not entirely sure. I would say it is a youngish racer transitioning from juvenile to adult coloration.

However, i'm sure 12f can count scales and give you a definitive answer...

I wish there was a better picture of this. My first thought was coachwhip as well but the scales dont look right to me.

I think we found the correct ID. Short Snouted Whip Snake from Africa.

Vet seems to think the amount of tissue damage to my dog's leg means it was likely a rattlesnake. Wonderful.

Timber, I presume, given your location?

That would be my guess. 12fmane knows a lot more about distribution maps and known ranges, but that's a little east for a Diamondback.

No... I reviewed pics of the short snouted whip snake and that is not the same animal. The whip snake has ridges above the eyes that this snake lacks.

Really need location for a positive ID. 12f probably won't, but he's MIA today.

Not my picture. Some disagreement in a FB group as to what this is. I think it's a coachwhip. What say you, experts?

Sorry, I was out looking for snakes today.

This is not a coachwhip. Maybe something African, but I can't think of what.

Somebody on the FB group said it could be a type of African Skaapsteker snake.

I wouldn't consider this being stumped... first, this thread is generally for snakes people actually run across in the US and I haven't seen him wrong on anyone of those. Second, this is a partial picture of the head and provides zero info on the location (not hemisphere, continent, country, etc.).

So cheer up 12fmane! You missed one question (which was a BS one) out of several hundreds.

It has too long a head to be a skaapsteker and it's nose isn't rounded off. How is it that no one on the facebook page knows where this pic was obtained. 12f is having trouble because it is a very generic looking snake and we are going off of a slightly blurry head pic.

Everyone is just guessing Africa right now, but that snake could easily be from anywhere. If we had a location, we could probably get an ID in no time flat.

Geez....it was tongue in cheek. He's clearly been right about the other 1,000 snakes that have been presented so it's a joke/amazement/surprise that he finally wasn't sure. It's not a critique.

I know and I wasn't attacking you. Just pointing out the "unique" conditions of the post and how very few people can provide the level of identification that 12fmane has been able to.
