Don't handle venomous snakes, people. Even dead ones.
Speaking of rattlesnakes, have you guys seen this?




It's toolbags like this that give people who really educate about snakes a bad name.
Was the snake somehow not dangerous? Fangs removed? Is that even possible?


Yeah, it could have been a venomoid (snake which has had the fangs and venom glands removed). It's quite common in breeders who breed venomous snake morphs. Had a friend who had several venomoid albino prairie rattlers which he bred.

It's also possible to sew the mouth shut like they do in the Oklahoma rattlesnake roundups for photo ops (I just recently learned of this).

"Your boss is a dip****" is what everyone is thinking right now.

I was thinking "wuss" but dip**** works too.

It would have to be sewn shut with steel cable for me.

Wife got this one on the porch today. Underneath a box she pulled in off the porch. I think she had to change her pants!

I have a very large hognose (2.5' and thick) living in my backyard rocks. Wife wants it gone so anyone close to Kerrville interested in a hognose? If no takers, I'm going to catch and relocate.

If you want me to remove it for you, I'll be in San
Antonio in a couple of weeks. Hogs are my specialty.

It's welcome here, but I'm a long way away, and Ursus has long since given his opinion on relocation.

Nice copperhead.

And, seriously, I'll make Hognose have a new home. My mom lives right outside of Kerrville and I'll be visiting her and other family.

A few where I felt like taking my phone out, Sachse, TX. Ribbon snake was one of the longest I have come across, was around 3ft.

That's actually a Texas Gartersnake. They are somewhat difficult to locate and considered rare. Where abouts?

Three were found around the neighborhood yesterday, Woodbridge neighborhood in Sachse/Wylie by the golf course. Thought the coloring looked off for a ribbon but don't have enough experience of snakes of this area yet.

What scale row(s) the lower stripe is on and garters will have black lines from the eyes to the jaw, ribbons won't.
