I had another capture today. Juvenile copperhead in one of the minnow traps.

The Nueces is riddled with them as well up there. Great images BTW!

Door bell rings today...my neighbor asked me to come look at a snake in her backyard because I have "scolded" them before about killing snakes they come across. She wanted me to tell them if it was venomous before they killed it. (He made it!)

He was in my sister's potted plant and then retreated to the bushes after threat of broom (they just wanted him away from the front door - they know not to kill snakes on sight). Located in CS. Rat snake?

Come on... one snake doesn't mean there is a feral population of puff adders in Katy. People are so sensationalist.


That shows what you know.

Nothing. I just leave them along the base of buildings or fence lines and they randomly come slithering by, follow along the structure, and go into the cone shaped entrance of the traps. No bait needed, just good placement.

Long time lurker so I know I'll be roasted for killing it since I'm about 98% positive it's not venomous but between the small dog and the screaming wife it had to go so roast away!

Five feet long in NW Austin. Edit: ID?

Edit 2: I'm bad at this...my guess was bull snake.

Put out some traps for the rodents on your property, since you just killed the thing that was trying to get rid of them for you.

I want to thank everyone on this thread. I suffer from extreme Ophidiophobia (fear of snakes). I was mowing my parents land today in the country and I saw a rat snake (I think). I moved to another part of the land to mow and allow him/her to leave the area. Although I will never share your admiration and appreciation for snakes, I am no longer in the only good snake is a dead snake camp. Thank you.

My mom used to be the same way. Eventually, she was able to have a corn snake in her classroom. It can be overcome.

Of course, it probably helped to have a son who had 50+ snakes.
I know a lot about a little, and a little about a lot.

I will never have a snake as a pet, but I give you my word I will not kill non-venomous snakes. I've learned quite a bit on this thread.

I wasn't expecting that you would. Just giving an example.

Good bull BTW.

This is great and probably a third of the reason I started this thread a few years ago.
