Definitely timbers around Sheridan area. Found a few last year while doing work surveys.
Uncle Gunnysack said:was it a diamondback or timber rattler? Ive been going to parts of Fayette and Colorado county for 30 years and never seen or heard of anyone seeing a rattlesnake around there. looks like herpsoftexas only has records of timber sightings in that area.Mostly Sunny Disposition said:
One copper head, one rattle snake (surprisingly) and one DBWS in Weimar. Didn't have my phone on me to snap photos but they were out this weekend
This is pretty accurate. Diamondbacks seem to absent from the black gumbo soils of Jackson/Wharton/Matagorda/Brazoria Counties away from the coast, aren't present in the sandy post oak savannas like Sheridan, and avoid the blackland prairie area from Victoria to Brenham.ttha_aggie_09 said:
12fmane will confirm but I would bet Timber. I asked the same question when ran across some buddies that were showing me some pics of a big timber around Sheridan and think he mentioned they go as far south as Victoria.
I think the Diamondbacks are still a little closer to the coast in that area but may overlap some down near Victoria... good question and I am curious of the answer.

Saw this on Twitter.
I can't tell what species it is but I'm sure some of ypu will know immediately.
Blue star for first sentence. Negative blue star for second sentence.FAT SEXY said:
I'm always disappointed when I sign in to TexAgs and there are no new updates on this thread.
I really need to contribute to this thread. Especially considering I have the right equipment to do so.
Thanks! I thought they had the look of a garter snake, but I wasn't sure.12f Mane said:
Awesome. That's a young black-necked garter snake

Killed a coral snake last week, came slithering out of my yard onto my drive. Picture below

You do realize they are a timid snake, and that the only people to get bit by them are handling them. Right? It wasn't going to harm you or your loved ones.
I guess it's possible, but that explanation wasn't given. It seems even more unlikely with a corral snake, since they aren't even seen that often. Someone posted a statistic a while back. If I recall correctly, it's been over 20 years since someone has died from a corral snake bite. Doesn't mean it couldn't happen tomorrow, but definitely shows how unlikely it is to happen.AstroAggie15 said:DatTallArchitect said:

What if his loved one is a 4 year old toddler that doesn't know any better
