Eastern coachwhip in northern Grimes County. Sorry for the poor phone picture. I was holding the dog back as I was taking the picture. It stayed their for the photo. When I came back a few minutes later it was gone.


Bet it was beautiful in real life- one heck of a snake there.

I know it's not a snake, but I was hoping one of yall could tell me what kinda lizard this is.. and why is he puffing out his neck skin like this? He was chilling on the fence in my backyard today.

Showing a "Penny Pouch" as Granny would say.
Fair winds and a following sea.

Finally found a brown snake that my son could hold, been finding a lot of 3+ foot water and rat snakes. One alive one dead.

Rough earth snake, but still a good one for your son to hold.

This guy below scared the crap out of my pool guy this afternoon. We relocated him to a nature preserve a couple of miles away. It appears to have eaten well. Was very docile throughout the relocation process.

What kind of snake is this little guy and how do I prevent him from getting inside my house again? My wife is very paranoid about it, even though I'm sure it's harmless.

Looks like an earth snake, yes totally harmless, and the best bet would be clearing any leaf litter near doors, garages.

Yup, that seems like exactly what it is, after reading the description. When we found it under a mat, it didn't move at all. Thanks!

Not snake related but I cannot figure out what's going on in that picture. Something about the perspective is throwing me off...looks like an MC Escher drawing.

It's posted upside down, if that helps you with the perspective.

Its posted upside down and that thing to the right is a foam floor tile, not some crazy wall art.

Interesting question. My impression has always been that the coachwhips and racers are smarter than most. I am not sure why I think that.

To me, their behavior (periscoping, feigned death, etc) just makes them seem more curious and cunning rather than instinctive ambush predators like a Timber Rattlesnake.

Are snakes more or less of the same intelligence across species? Is there a species that stands out like say.. a raven does among other birds when it comes to the smarts

Probably a silly question.


They say the king cobra is as smart as most birds, but I don't know what other species are on the smart or dumb end. The smartest one I have ever personally seen is Bill Clinton.

I honestly don't know if any snake species are particularly intelligent. However, tegus are notable for being a group of intelligent lizard species which can be trained to do tricks and use a litter box.

First snake I've seen in the skimmer this year. His smarter sibling was still swimming in the pool. Any help identifying this would ease my wife's mind.

In north east Texas
