Thanks to both of you!

Never even heard of that before. Looked it up and watched someone feed a fish to one, kinda cool.

You can post it here. There isn't a dedicated spider thread. People usually start a new thread with the title Spider ID?? or something similar.

Just as you responded to this, buddy of mine sent me a pic of a plain bellied watersnake near a walking trail a couple days ago. It looked pretty emaciated so I assume it was taking advantage of the warmer weather snap to look for a meal.

It was pretty large, the coloring just looked different than anything I've seen.

Since it has been a while since we have seen snakes here. This is a little ribbon snake in Kingwood.

Found this little garter snake sunning himself on the road on this unseasonably warm day (Bexar County):

Sry guys, found out what it was through my own research. It was a wolf spider with a strange coloring. Now just on the lookout for some snakes!

I've been installing my 24" tall 1/4" hardware cloth mesh barrier around the base of my backyard fence. Should be too small for even juvie copperheads. Once I clear the backyard it should be fairly safe. Then I can hunt the front yard and side lots just for fun with much less worry about another $1100 vet bill.

Sounds like the perfect set up to have your own personal drift fence-trap array. Share results here!

Yeah, I could set traps at every corner and load up on crawlies.

I'm going to be doing field work the next few months in Val Verde and western Kinney counties. Besides rattlers and copperheads, are there any other venomous one to be on the lookout for? Do cotton mouths make it this far west?

I have rarely seen a cottonmouth west of I35 but they may be there.

I have hunted over 20 years in the Hill Country and never seen a cottonmouth. Not seen many copperheads either. Rattlers are all over the place

I've seen black racers or coachwhips out there. They are hella scary because they'll chase you but are nonvenomous. They're both damn quick too

Whew, man. None of this is true. There are coachwhips out west but they are typically tan or pinkish. The quick diurnal snakes you may be seeing are called Central Texas whipsnakes, and they are very slender and non-threatening. They'll hold their ground and actually will go for your face if you handle them, but obviously don't chase humans.

As far as common, only rattlesnakes. Copperheads and corals are present but typically in riparian situations.
