Poisonous Copperhead?
No... not in the slightest. DBWS, and a young one.
Also snakes are not poisonous they are venomous. Personally I don't care which you say but a lot of people on the outdoors board have made that a pet peeve of theirs just fyi.

Great story from Wyman Meinzer. Spent some time with him in Benjamin in the past. Great outdoorsman, writer, storyteller, et al.

My first rat snake of the year. Also found 2 rough earth snakes while doing front end loader work around the property.

Moving some bricks and disturbed this little guy. Sorry for the crummy pic. It's the best out of the three I snapped. He wasn't being real cooperative.
Location?
I believe that is a flat-headed snake. They were very common in New Braunfels when I lived there.

Went on a run today and did not have my phone with me. Saw 2 banded water snakes, 2 rat snakes (1 in a tree and one on the path), and one brown snake. Was able to grab one of the rat snakes so it did not get run over by a family riding their bikes and the family wanted to see it. If you were wondering the trail goes through a golf course with lots of cover and creeks.

From the neighborhood page.
Look at the big, mean guy!
Dekays Brown Snake - harmless
Dekays Brown Snake - harmless
That was my semi educated guess as well. Nice to have confirmation.
Nice camo...
That's an awesome picture! BBWS is damn near invisible.
Awesome pic. I've always thought that BBWS's were some of the most beautifully colored and patterned snakes out there, but man do they have a bad attitude.

That's the damn truth! I have always wondered why they're such mean SOBs...
Saw this on reddit this morning. Thought y'all would appreciate it.

well, reddit sucks with trying to share links. So here's a youtube version of it.

I love this thread and have learned so much over the years watching it. Our neighbors have seen 2 in the last 2 days. Admittingly, they don't know snakes. I am no expert but have picked up on much just from watching this thread over the last 5 to 6 years or so.
Each time they thought it was a copperhead maybe. One was a young garter snake and the other was a broad banded water snake. Another on facebook in our subdivision posted a pic of a snake they had caught with those garden trash picker uppers. Anyways, they were asking what type of snake it was and many were saying copperhead also.
The snake people that claimed to be experts were saying it was a broad banded water snake. I was thinking that also because I noticed the perpendicular lines under the lower jaw, learned that on here (thanks).
I now look forward to seeing how good I am at identifying snakes because of this thread

Coworker took this up near Caddo Lake yesterday. Can't see the normal cues I would use, but assuming Cottonmouth based on patterning?
Coloring is right for a juvi & that head up is a cue

I was never the "kill every snake" kind of guy, even as a kid. But what I will say is that since these threads started, my first thought any time I see a snake has gone from "oh sh*t" to "where is my phone, I need to get a picture for the Texags thread!".agswin1988 said:

This is so funny and true! I wonder how many people actually have good encounters with snakes but fail to get a picture and are too ashamed to post about it here.
North Georgia. Picture of head and eyes isn't the greatest, but???
