I had the same markings in my coop today. Definitely rat snake.

Found this guy in my chicken coop eating eggs. Relocated him to the woods about a half mile away (is that far enough that he won't come back?).
Google Lens said "Texas Rat Snake". If correct, that's cool (and somewhat scary) that Google can be that accurate from that non-clear of a picture.

That is correct and there are several apps that nail it 90% of the time. It's freaky.

It is very highly unlikely to find a red touch black snake in the U.S. that is venomous. A few aberrant color phase corals and some eastern coral snakes with high red coloration might fool you but the chances you'll see a coral like that are insignificantly low...

Gabe just offered '12f Mane' as a thoroughbred race horse name in ode to Finebaum's 'Chi-ching' for A&M in his naming of SEC school horse names.12f Mane said:It's just me behind a computerhurleyag said:I'm sure the apps just reference this thread.12f Mane said:

Yep. And thanks to Texags I knew that, but I just wanted to be extra sure before I reached in there!

I was with my wife when we saw both snakes. I am very familiar with snakes as is my lovely wife. We taught snake education to our daughters school classes when they were young. The green snake was well over 4 ft long and way thicker than a rough green snake. It really made us and our friends wonder if someone realesed or somehow a green mamba ended up here in TX. ??? Thoughts? If it is a green snake it's a record breaker in terms of size.

Look, it's a big green snake in the greater Houston area.Badace52 said:
Wow... just, wow.
Edit: For the record, it IS a rough green snake.

A) A healthy (maybe even large) rough green snake
B) A Damn Green Mamba

I used to live in Swaziland, South Africa as a kid. I've seen many green mambas, and they aren't that color of green. They're MUCH darker than that and can almost even look black sometimes, if the light isn't good. However, I've also seen boomslangs (tree snakes) and they are that bright green. They are as deadly as mambas. I sure pray it's not a boomslang. They will get into trees and fall out onto you. I'm terrified of snakes because of my experiences with them in Africa.
