Not the clearest picture. I was driving down a dirt road and noticed a can flailing around on the side of the road. Backed up to find this guy with his head stuck in it. I snapped the pic then picked up the can. He started to spiral his body around and fell out after a few spins. His scales were a little messed up but he looked like he'd be fine. He looked at me with a sideways glance and went back in the grass on the side and quickly disappeared.
Pretty sure that's Sneaky Snake.

Smallest water snake I have seen to date, probably around 18-24". Almost got run over by a few people riding bikes so he was moved off of the trail.
I was so close to catching one today that looked exactly like this one in size and color. It's just so hard to grab them when they're cruising around in a creek bottom.
I don't know how they disappear like they do...
Found a buddy on my front patio. Well, he wasn't too friendly, but I gave him a proper home a few hundred yards away in a retention pond.
You are so brave holding a deadly snake.
Those cottonmouths can't penetrate a yard glove, duh
I had another 20" copperhead in a minnow trap this evening, and just now I caught a very bitey juvenile rat snake in my garage and put it back outside. The bites tickled, but also trickled some blood. Sharp little teeth.

You'd have to look twice at that one.
Red touch yellow, kill a fellow.
Found yourself the counties deadliest snake that never bites people.

Actually Texas Coral snakes, like that one, have a relatively mild venom. There has never been a recorded death from a Texas Coral Snake bite. They generally just cause mild to moderate paraesthesias (tingling) and sometimes mild shortness of breath.
Eastern and Arizona coral snakes are a different story.

Wonder if those snakes picked up the corona virus doing yhat
If someone gets bitten by a venomous snake that has a case of the 'rona, we'll NEVER get out of quarantine!agswin1988 said:

I was eating on the patio with the family tonight and saw a buttermilk racer in the yard. I jumped up to go catch him, my 3 boys cheering me on, my two year old trying to grab the snake, the snake striking at him, and my wife screaming at me, all resulted in a fast snake getting away and no pic. I felt like such a failure.
Neighbor just shot me a pic of this one, milk snake? In Sacshe, TX. If I wasn't about to start a conference call I would try to track this one down in person

It looks more like a milk snake but I am not experienced enough to tell the difference between a milk snake and king snake, even though technically I think a milk snake is a king snakeTheVarian said:

Another milk snake just like the one I found!!! Mines been a heck of a pet so far.
I need to get out more and go herping in some wilderness. I see a fair amount of snakes fishing in local ponds and lakes but I'm jealous of some of these pics and variety. I live in western TN and we have a fair amount of species here I believe but I so rarely see anything but water snakes and moccasins.
Not a herpetologist here but my neighbor who was bit twice by a coral snake he was holding (thought it was a king snake) was having massive problems breathing while we were waiting on the ambulance and was almost dead when he got to the ER.Badace52 said:

At the time there was still antivenim and I have heard that schering plough quite making it because the numbers were so bad.
I know he's harmless, but Not a big fan of any sort snakes my house/garage but managed to get him out unharmed

Must have gotten a very large dose of venom. Did he get intubated (put on a ventilator with tube to help him breathe)?
