That's exactly what I said to myself when I read the email. "Uhhhh snakes aren't slippery, dude". I'm going to try to find out what kind of snakes have been seen when I see the building maintenance guys so I can hopefully prevent them needlessly getting killed.

Well my coworker spotted what sounded like a garter snake but I can't find it in the area he saw it.

12fMane, any ideas on the watersnake I posted at the end of previous page? Badace thinks plain belly or Northern. I'm not all that familiar with the varieties of these in the Mid-South area.

It's a plain-bellied water snake (Nerodia erythorogaster). Other water snakes, especially in your area, will have distinct patterns. Only erythrogaster have a uniform phase like that.

The thing eating the blue thing is called a nope rope.

Aka copperhead.

What a great shot. Young copperhead eating a five-lined or southeastern five-lined skink.

I FOUND ONE!!



This is inside my building. And this is NOT my Facebook post. Monday if they are still there I'm going to check them. They must have put them out after I left yesterday.

I'm an LOL old and can't post the pic but I found this little fella yesterday while mowing around a shed. I didn't expect him there because it's a long way from any water other than the puddles on the ground from all the rain.

Thanks Chiken. Yes, definitely a cotton mouth. I was a disappointed to see him where I did because it is several hundred yards from our pond and I routinely work around this shed with little concern for snakes. Guess I won't be doing that anymore.

That is a speckled kingsnake, but it is not eating a copperhead. I think that is a Slowinski's corn snake. It could also be a young rat snake, but definitely not a copperhead.

Do we know where the pic is from?

Just for comparison, here is a speckled kingsnake actually eating a copperhead:

Saw that but it won't let me look at profiles of members since I am not a member of the CHL forum. The snakes are making me think East Texas.

Definitely a young ratsnake and with a pattern that doesn't usually turn up here. My guess would be Mississippi (broadly). Wouldn't surprise me if it was from Texas though.

Pardon my ignorance, but will a snake eat their own or do they look for a different kind of snake to eat?

Nestea07 glad that little fella was on your side of the street. The wife doesn't like snakes up on our mountain
