Well, this bit of slightly cooler wetter weather has the copperheads active. Caught three snakes tonight, none from traps. They'd feel the vibrations of me walking up and freeze, but their camo was useless. The pattern is easy to pick out, for me at least.

2 little juveniles and one good sized adult. Pics tomorrow.

I would like a little more variety in species.

We can release some gaboon vipers if you want to spice things up?

Put one of those 23ft. reticulated pythons loose and see how much fun it is during the middle of the night.

Native species only, please. Any invasive I would have to kill.

Despite the elevation off the ground, I would STRONGLY suspect that is not a rat snake.

I hear stopping rattling wasn't enough to get away from the hogs... they now don't rattle and climb

Holy hell! I think you need to start hauling those things to another county so that you can know for sure they aren't repeat captures.

Was tagged by 13 yellow jackets in the head as a nine year old. Still waiting for the super powers to be revealed.


I think I know what happened to your super powers. It was a case of Serpentes transference.

All this rain has them moving around. Last 3 days has been a rat snake genocide in the neighborhood

Not a phobia but I give a very healthy respect and lots of room to wasps. They can be nasty suckers


I hate wasps/hornets/yellow jackets etc. Interesting story... my dad and I were burning up some old trash lumber at the deer lease a few years ago and got down to the last few layers and woke up a massive hive of hornets. They swarmed out and stung my dad. Thankfully I was able to dodge them. He had about 6 stings on his hand, a few on his neck a few on his back where some of those *******s got in his shirt . All in all he must have had 15-20 stings on him, they all swelled up pretty good and had him in tons of pain and feeling loopy.

Thankfully (our guess) he was already on a few meds for antiinflamatory and some orher stuff or else i think it might have been pretty bad.

My grandad was allergic to stinging insects and could have gone in to anaphylactic shock from a single wasp sting, so job 1 when visiting was to clear out all the wasp nests. Got stung a time or two, but he more than compensated by taking us fishing. With apologies to the Who, "I call that a bargain, the best I ever had."

Was looking at TA recommendations for an overhead garage door replacement and found this on one company's website. It's climbing, it's over 6' long, the garage door people wouldn't work until it was removed, and yes - it's a rat snake. Location somewhere in the greater Dallas area

A few recent snakes from the Houston burbs.

Graham's crayfish snake


Eastern hognose


And this was super cool; one of the more interesting things I've found. My son and I hiked up this axanthic (lacking yellow pigment) rough green snake.


As found


Scars on this snake looked like marks from a Bic pen.

Do you find these snakes and then pose them? Every pic you post looks like something off of National Geographic!
