Saw this on Facebook this morning, made me think of this thread...no I don't this person.

This is Josh. I don't know Josh, but saw a post of a happy Josh after he found a snake. Josh didn't know what kind of snake he'd found, but decided to pick it up anyways. An hour later, Josh posts a picture of himself in the Emergency Room because the snake he picked up was a venomous #Copperhead.

Don't be a Josh! If you can't say 100% that you know *exactly* what you're picking up, DON'T pick it up!

That's been around for at least a couple years. Dumbass is lucky that thing didn't tag him in the face.

I was burning some cardboard boxes in my fire pit the other day since we finally had a decent rain, and I sense some motion in the juniper tree above my head, and there is a 4 foot rat snake slithering about the end of the limb just about 3 feet above me. Looks like he had just checked out an empty nest a couple of feet further up and the fire drew its interest. Funny part it is was the exact same snake I photographed a week earlier on my fence. It had a very unique injury scar a little behind its head I had noted before. I reached up and poked it with my fingertip and that seemed to startle it a bit, but it hung around a little longer before slithering back up the limb.

Other than that, just the routine copperhead in the traps every 2-3 days or so.

It looks like a highly venomous sea snake. Probably visiting Arkansas to get away from the great white shark snakes.

Not positive but I am pretty sure you're correct. It's very likely a juvenile in the Northern Water Snake family.

I have only seen and caught one in the wild, so my knowledge is pretty limited. I'll defer to 12fmane or Badace for confirmation.

Do you really want to filter through multiple jokes/-asshat comments every time a snake picture is posted? This thread has been great over the years. Let's not screw it up now.

Read through the previous years snake threads. There are lots of "poisonous" snake comments. Lighten up Francis.

Since without zooming in and on a mobile device, the snake in your picture looks somewhat similar to a banded sea snake, I stand by my dumbass comment.

BIL found what we believe is an Eastern Hognose at his house.

Too much trouble to post pictures without a star.

This thread is full of comments, other than "photo, snake id; photo, snake id".

I like humor and sarcasm to break up the monotony. but to each his own I guess. I don't see where this or any other in the last few pages derails the thread.

Eh, in general I have no issue with the comments made. I also have no issue with the yearly addition of the marijuana snake picture. It's just not something that I think should be the norm.

Carry on.

I didn't say THEY were funny, it wasn't funny!

I saw a snake below Broken Bow Lake, in the first section of river before the last bridge up to the dam. I was surprised a snake could just hang out in colder waters like that but I guess they're acclimated to it being a water snake. This was last fall I believe.





Trying to zoom between the two it looks like the pattern could be similar?

I can't tell if those are ripples on the water and a juvenile cottonmouth or vertical stripes on the jaw.

Nah don't worry about that. I was just amazed someone could say round eyes on a snake from that picture. Looked like slightly out of focus raisins to me.

I've tried to take pictures of snakes before for this thread. I ain't getting close enough to get a good shot.
