I'm all for Ketch failing and exposing it... but I don't know any better myself.

Should've been given how many pictures there are of it and they're protected.
Forgive me...what is it? Looks huge and awesome.

Yea that is my perfect snake. And that one is a big one.
He is king of the snakes around here. Eats rattlers.

According to the post, the snake was quickly identified and relocated safely due to its protected status and appetite for rattlers.

I was watching a show on one of the 2nd tiers called Buying The Bayou. It one of the HGTV type look at 3 pick one show except its in the swamps and bayous and features some interesting properties and interesting buyers. One show had the gang walking up to a place on a slough and seeing a nice large diamondback water snake in an old water trough. The narrator " informed" us that it was a "HUGE very venomous diamondback water snake that can easily kill." "One bite requires hospitalization within 15 minutes or it could be fatal !!!!" Must be a new species of previously unknown snake.P.U.T.U said:
We have had lots of diamondback water snakes out lately, luckily no one has tried to kill them.
Reminds me of the stuff they say on "Naked and Afraid"..... especially the ones in Texas..... laughable.

Husband just texted this. Kids and I are in the house, he's out in the pasture fencing.
I love snakes and this is one of the most beautiful species but he's a little too close for comfort.
Edit: photo isn't working for me and I'm not signing up for any more websites just to post a pic. Snake was a gorgeous copperhead but alas he is now copper-headless.

Probably a type of water snake. Difficult to tell.
Zoo,
I knew what it was. Just posting to share. Thanks, though.

This copperhead was hiding under my neighbors trash can. He walked right past it a few times before noticing it.

They're sneaky little suckers. When I worked in the field, I stepped over them all the time, and then someone behind me would see them. Luckily, I never got bitten.
I got it
12f nailed it as usual, but that is most definitely a diamondback water snake. Pattern is a dead giveaway.

Thanks, knew the yellow underside ruled out most of my initial thoughts but I wouldn't have come up with that.
That tin piece of metal on the ground looks like a dream home for a copperhead.......or 3.Oruc Reis said:

This young coachwhip was in the middle of the road in our neighborhood when I was driving home today. He was acting injured, so I picked him up. After closer inspection he had a bloodied body about halfway down. Car must have hit him. I put him in some bushes at the edge of the neighborhood, but I doubt he makes it. Poor fella. Made me sad.
Location?
League City at Kessler's Crossing and Walker St.

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.
Post here again and I'll leave some contact info.
Thanks. Interesting looking snake so I was curious
Anyone else follow the" What kind of snake this is? North Texas " facebook page? People post tons of snakes on there from all over the state. The admins are Nazis though.
If your child grows up to be a Liberal, you've failed as a parent.
I used to follow most/all of the regional ID pages but they devolved so quickly into people sharing links or pics of really stupid stuff that has anything to do with snakes. Those types of pages need heavy moderation to be worth anything.
Rat snake about 15" that looked like it had sunglasses was on the back porch last night. Could not get a picture since my wife has a huge phobia and was standing right by it without seeing it. Luckily we do not have to move or burn down the house yet.
2 copperheads yesterday, and unusually for my place in broad afternoon daylight. One was captured and relocated, but the other was gruesomely "detected" by the blades of my riding mower and I didn't notice it was there until my next lap around the yard. Yuck.
