Found my first ever brown snake while cleaning out the flower bed (Dallas)
I also found a shed off a ~24" snake, I assume was a rat snake. Fairly thin and single scales on the belly
Edit: I was backwards on the scales towards the tail, yikes. Must have been copperhead. Will need to see if I saved the shed to check again.

Good stuff!
Anyone here ready to confess? https://www.mystatesman.com/news/local/police-caldwell-county-man-uses-rattlesnake-neighbor-dispute/NUFO8d5JNM4ggWDdliKS2I/

It happened when one of them stumbled upon a rattlesnake, removed its rattle with his own teeth so its signature warning sound could not be heard, then turned it loose inside his unsuspecting neighbor's home, according to authorities.
Found this big boy driving home just now in my neighborhood. It was about as big around as a coke can.
If its still in good shape in the morning i'll go get a better picture with a size comparison
It had been freshly decapitated, but its body was still in the middle of the road.
No one on the neighborhood Facebook page has claimed responsibility yet
Edit to add -- now on Facebook there is a neighbor letting everyone know if they heard a gun go off it was him shooting the snake
second edit: here is the neighbors pic

So he opened fire on a non-venomous snake in your neighborhood? Hopefully you're not in a standard neighborhood and have some space between you and this guy.
Big, gravid Diamondback water snake.

He's lucky that those nasty little devils didn't slither out a few minutes after he shot it!

Unfortunately for the diamond back water snake their color pattern is both a weapon and a curse
We are in a "non-standard" neighborhood with some space. People shooting in the area is not uncommon, however based on where this specifically was I'm curious what kind of firearm was used and in what direction the ricochet would have gonettha_aggie_09 said:

Yep. Another example of how messing with a snake puts everyone at more harm than just leaving it alone.
Snakey weekend for me. Caught a few copperheads. Will post pics later. Damn near stepped on a 2 footer but he was more scared than I was based off how he reacted when I jumped to get some distance between us. he sought shelter underneath my idling tractor, which given the vibration was surprising. Came very close to another while repositioning some tractor implements.
Pretty sure I got this one based on pics above. Texas Brown Snake, correct? And I think he was mad at me for taking his picture.
Goodness, that's a pretty snake!

It's a young box turtle and I think it is a young eastern box turtle, but it could be a three toed box turtle too.

Well in that area i think they would call it a three toed box turtle, but they are the same species as the eastern box turtle. The two are subspecies of Terrapene carolina.

Just got back from a bike ride with my daughter in Mandeville, LA. We saw an adult eastern box turtle flattened in the road. We're in a subdivision, so I assume someone made a conscious effort to run it over. Stupid is as stupid does I guess.
Hate hearing that. Sliders and snappers can take their chances, but I'll always throw on the caution lights and move a box turtle off the road (provided that it's safe to do so, of course).
Not a snake, but a pretty cool spider on my double wide I saw on my way to keep up with Mouth on the copperhead count.

Between the black and yellow pattern and the zigzag web, those garden spiders always creeped me out when I was a kid.
