I'm sorry for the blood but it was on my front door step this afternoon. Didn't give me much choice. Pretty sure it's a prairie rattler, right? I have a friend that was bit by one. Measured 32".

Little dude was getting his butt kicked by one of our hens after trying to get to her eggs. Not sure what he thought he would do with them but that's where he kept trying to go.

Eastern black necked garter snake. Location? That's a cool one. I found one in my neighborhood that had been run over a while back. Never seen a live one though.

Sutton County just outside of Sonora. She took off once I walked over to see what kind of snake she had. I moved him a good ways off so maybe he could avoid the cats and chickens since he was having a bad day.

Believe it or not he is actually the biggest snake I have found on our place since we moved out here a year ago. We have a lot of cats that hang around.

Nearly stepped on this rat snake the other day. Was stretched out in the grass ~3.5' long. It wasn't happy about being relocated.

Look what I found lurking around my front flowerbed. Looks like a baby diamondback water snake.

Oops, they're upside down because I was shooting left handed.

It's Nerodia erythrogaster... PBWS, YBWS. BWS, etc...

It still annoys me every time I see "blotched water snake" (like mouthbq posted) and we're now supposed to refer to it as a PBWS...

A rat snake was laying across a dirt road today at my parent's house. He got tired of me sticking my camera in his face and climbed a tree.

Refer to them however you want. It is sure to change I a few years. It is the same as medicine. Names change for no discernible reason or for political correctness...

2 of the guys were at the lease doing some work this weekend and this one was hanging around the bunkhouse.

As much as I pleaded for mercy, it ultimately met its end. Guess they didn't like him so close to the living quarters.

First western diamondback we've seen out there. Have seen bull snakes and rat snakes but no rattle bugs (until now)

Alright guys, finally got a good one for y'all to try and ID. In fact, I think this might be a first for the snake thread. One of my nurses sent me the pic. Location: Hewitt, TX

Not 100% sure based on the picture, but I don't remember seeing a patch nose snake on this thread before? At least not that I can remember.

I posted one of those earlier this year, but this is not a patch nosed snake.

Not a snake, but close... I am cleaning up some tree limbs that are laying on an old shed on my property and saw this snake shed - about 20 feet up a tree! Guessing rat snake because, well, you know.

Guess I spooked this little guy from his resting place while I was mowing. He never let me get close to get a real good picture. Slithered off back into the yard.

What is this? I shot a dove last year and 10 minutes later when I found it one of these snakes had it in their mouth. Scared the **** out of me.
