Everglades Rat Snake?
Serious guess, even though it would be pretty ironic given the way this thread usually goes

There used to be a subspecies called the Everglades ratsnake. Everything over there got moved into "eastern ratsnake," but most herp people would call this one a yellow ratsnake.AZAG08 said:

Early season Schott's whipsnake from last week in Aransas County
Correct...Though I'm still not convinced people shouldn't just call them yellow rat snakes. The differences are often very subtle.
Edit: Well 12f beat me to it.

Stepped over a watersnake while walking the dog this evening. He was chillin in the cypress knees and jumped in the pond from right under me in mid stride. I would've got a pic but I was actively pissing myself!
Sheldon S.P. (E. Houston) today. It looked like a Yellow Belly Water Snake with no obvious stripe through the eye and vertical lines around its mouth. However, it opened its mouth, which looked white with a slightly pink hue.
Would a yellow belly water snake act like a cotton mouth or was it more likely a cotton mouth without its distinctive head markings?
That's a Mississippi green water snake
Thanks 12f, Mississippi Green WS is a new one for me.
Is it related at all to a Mississippi Leg Hound?12f Mane said:

2002, you need to host the picture online with a site like imgur
Found this little guy while cleaning out the back area of our barn this past weekend.
ETA: Missed rule #2. Located in Wilson County.
That's a good looking snake
Nice copperhead. What did you do with it?

Moved him to the back of the property away from the animals. He didn't mind too much as the cold snap we just had had him feeling pretty mellow.
What county are you in?
Wilson. Southeast of San Antonio.
That's so ridiculous... the people who wrote this article couldn't even be bothered to take a picture of a real snake for their article. Maybe they were too scared.

Would someone really spend up to $50,000 to save a dog? Big fan of my dogs, but that just sounds loony tunes to me. I thought you could just give a dog a couple of benadryl and rest to get over a snake bite?

yeah, here's that pic. I was really confused.
Pretty sure that's supposed to be a cottonmouth, but the pattern on that rubber/plastic snake is pretty far off from reality.

Found this little fella on my back patio. Cause of death unknown as there were no markings of any kind.
Baby blotched water snake...
I have no idea why it died.

That's what I thought too. I didn't think the coloring on the body was that far off but the lack of the white/cream stripe on the head and the round pupils of the eyes threw me off when I was on my phone. It wasn't until I could see it on a larger screen that I could tell it was a fake snake.
Good looking adult southern copperhead from near the house recently
Awesome!
Got 400 feet of hardware cloth coming in Saturday. Battle of Copperhead Farm 2018 is beginning. Going to try to snakeproof the backyard a bit for the dogs. Also have a snake tong coming in to augment my hook.
Found this rattlesnake outside a large den in Shackelford County.
Rattlesnake dens....LOT OF NOPE...
