Ah, thanks, the guy who sent the pic to me just texted me and said it was 6-7 feet long, so that makes sense.

Saw this guy a couple weeks ago at my (future) in-laws place in Houston in their backyard. Garter snake?
Looks like a Texas Brown Snake
Agree definitely a brown snake.

Guess what? Two more copperheads. Found while patrolling yard just after sunset. Captured, photographed, taken far away.
Probably a hognose... pics or it didn't happen

Did you stab it to death with toothpicks?
410 pistol...apparently loaded with toothpicks.
Are you putting together files on each? Identifying marks, coloration, etc. and then assigning them a number?MouthBQ98 said:

Actually considering it. My own personal Bastrop County herpetology study.
Unfortunately neighbors killed this snake. They killed a 4ft rattlesnake 3 days ago can someone give me an id? I know it's not venomous and just want to Id for them
Coachwhip
Too bad they killed it since they eat rattlesnakes
Got home yesterday and a checkered garter snake was on the back porch. He had recently eaten something and was so fat he couldn't move too well.
So I went to grab him to move him out to the woods....Im guessing he sensed danger and he regurgitated his meal so he could get away! Gulf coast toad!
My boys (9 and 7) witnessed the entire regurgitation process and were floored by its awesomeness. He lost his meal but will live to see another day.
I have pics but don't know how to post!

Life's an endless party, not a punch card.
Chased a baby racer across my lawn that the mower scared up yesterday, but he got away. Wish I had caught him. He was at a good stage between baby and adult coloration that would have made him fun for y'all to ID.

Guess that's why they call them RACERS
neighbors don't mean friends... they are about 8 acres away.

Hahhaha not a brag. We are 1 acre lots they are a few down.
nice Texas garter snake in Lafitte's Cove
Pretty snake, but that's a western ribbon snake.
From a group Facebook feed. This is about three miles from my brother. Don't know who the photographer is....
I don't know who the photographer is either but he sucks.
That is pushing 30 rattlesnakes...
Look at all those 8 foot rattlesnakes.
What distinguishes the two?
Found this little guy nestled under some leaves at the base of a shrub I was trimming yesterday. Dekay's Brown Snake? SE Montgomery County. He was pretty docile, didn't seem to mind being handled at all. Relocated him to another flower bed so as not to accidentally injure him.
Neighbor nuked a yellow bellied watersnake he thought was a moccasin yesterday.
is rattlesnake as good eating as they say,and what is the best way to prep it?
The only way I've had it is battered and fried. It was very good.Uncle Gunnysack said:

Had rattlesnake sausage and something like rattlesnake " crab cakes" that were excellent in Sedona recently. In college many many moons ago my roommates and I would have a semester ending wild game weekend where we would cook up all the various critters we killed during the year. Usually had half a dozen rattlers that we would fix in the usually fried way but also made a rattlesnake casserole that was awesome.Texmid said:The only way I've had it is battered and fried.

Speckled Kings are probably my favorite snake that's commonly found in this area, so it sucked to come across this guy yesterday. Located in College Station.
Some lady that works at our Waco office started hearing and feeling a horrible thumping banging sound this morning as she pulled out of a pharmacy drive through. She thought she had a flat tire, and got out to check.
Nope. Turns out about a 4-5 foot rat snake had decided to twist itself up in her tire rim while she was idling there waiting and it made an awful banging unbalanced racket as she drove off. Needless to say, no surviving snake.

My wife found a hissing cobra in the backyard near Buda this afternoon. I wish people wouldn't release their pets.
