Might be my favorite post of the snake threads. Timbers are awesome snakes (so it seems, safely tucked behind my desk on the interwebs).

If you get a little closer, you'll know when he opens his mouth and starts with the shakkkkky tale!

In all honesty, I'll leave it to the experts, but sure looks like a cotton mouth head to me...color is confusing and pics not clear

That's not really a mascara mark. It looks like some shadow effect and the angle at which the pic was taken. It is definitely a DBWS....

We get snakes, mule deer, bobcats, coyotes, and even some mountain lions.
I think there is one less mule deer out there that the snek ate as fat as he is.

We've been seeing tons of snakes lately at our place. We have a new coachwhip living in a hole under a faucet, and while I was looking at him, caught a baby checkered garter.

I can't tell from this angle. I may need to see it in person to ID it.

Never! It's definitely an original and never posted elsewhere.

Yes. I saw those, so I guess it is a water snake, but it looks so light. I suck at these ID's!

It is a rattlesnake from the West or California. My guess is a Mohave rattlesnake.

Found in our driveway, I've tried finding it on inaturalist.com but can't quite figure it out. Thoughts? Thanks!
