Not for nothing, but what is "proper" in a situation like this? If I look under the crawl space of my rat infested building and see 15 rattlesnakes, I'm not sure what my second reaction would be....12f Mane said:
Got it, thanks. All rattlesnakes and one coachwhip.
There are trained people for that exact scenario. Removal of the snakes, secure the area they are getting into, fix the rat problem.
Angry snake...

They must have a great display since so many people confuse them with copperhead, despite no semblance of pattern.
People think everything is a copperhead. It's quite discouraging.
Pretty one
Cat brought this little guy up today in Smithville.
Cats are the worst
The cat didn't kill it. I caught it and released it into a field across from my house.
BBWS in west Harris Co
Galveston - West Bay
The kids saw this guy hiding under the bank of the creek near Hallettsville today. Yellow bellied water snake?
You got me... when I try zooming in it's too pixelated. Was it a solid color? Appears to have some pattern around the head.

Salt marsh snake?
Yes sir. Swam between my legs before I grabbed him
And you didn't even spill your beer!

I only spill beer when the snake is venomous
That's all we could see of him. He went behind the waterfall.
That's awesome

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Actually my first Gulf Marsh Snake. Knew that's what he was based on color/stripes and why I grabbed him. Other guys didn't appreciate the fact I was carrying a snake back to the boat...
Hoping to add some good photos this year since we recently moved to Phoenix metro. Will keep my eyes open on hikes and playing golf!
Hoping to find something other than brown and rough earth snakes this year... Seems like all I run into lately.

Should've been more confident but I'll blame the blurry photo.

Snake related because it scared the hell outta my wife! She saw it move and didn't bother to look good enough to see it was a lizard...LOL! Texas Spiny Lizard correct? First one I've ever seen. Spring Branch, TX.
Yep... Good sized one. We always used to call them Rusty Joes and I have no idea where that colloquialism came from.

He was! I would guess the body length was a good 6-7 inches and seemed pretty fat! With all the rain, there is no shortage of insects.
That's a pretty good size lizard in SB. I graduated in 1978 from SB HS. Go Bears. 
Not my picture and unfortunately he siding make it. "They asked the neighbor who deals with lots of snakes at work..." "he said yellow belly tends to be bad..." WOW
