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?

Guess what? Two more copperheads. Found while patrolling yard just after sunset. Captured, photographed, taken far away.

Are you putting together files on each? Identifying marks, coloration, etc. and then assigning them a number?

Actually considering it. My own personal Bastrop County herpetology study.

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!

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.

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.

The only way I've had it is battered and fried. It was very good.

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.

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.



Edit for image, thanks AgENg06!
