Lived off Slaughter lane on Chisholm Trail back in the 70's, Dad was a volunteer fireman with the Manchaca Fire Department and that's not how we pronounced it. ManCHaka.
Hipsters appropriated the pronunciation to try to gain "local cred", and would probably tell you that they were calling it Man-Shack before it was cool.

I've been surprised with the color variation on coachwhips. That's a very dark one similar to one I saw recently near Kurten.

Friends yard near San Diego. He said southern pacific rattler, but only picture they sent

ETA: 2nd pic sent, got it cut out and released away from house

Coachwhips are easy to ID if you get a chance to look at their head, they always look pissed off. Oddly enough I have never seen one less than 4 feet long

I was hoping it was a particularly dark Texas Indigo, but after looking at all the pictures I can find you guys have it nailed as a CoachWhip

He's a pretty big sucker, so hopefully I can keep the kids from running him over on the ATVs. That picture was taken on a steel bridge across the creek - dangerous for him.

Coach whip?

Awesome. I saw one really similar to this one in Big Bend going across a trail. Was unable to get a picture he was so fast.

Just saw this guy in San Saba, TX. Anyone know what he is? He had a reddish color to him that didn't come out in the pictures very well.

That's what I was thinking based on the pattern but his nose looked pretty normal. I also hadn't seen one red like that but looking on Google now it seems like that can be. Thanks.

They're really cool looking snakes! Regarding the red coloration - I'd say it is somewhat common because I've had quite a few people text me pictures of "copperheads" that were really Eastern Hognoses.

Edit: We also have some experts on this board that can probably elaborate further, including one that has raised them as pets.

I finally got one right!!

Only because I found one at my house in Houston last year and this board IDed it for me.


Is it just me, or does anyone else think of this every time someone IDs a coach whip?

Wife was getting firewood for s'mores and damn near seized up. I ran over to the wood pile fully expecting a copperhead and ended up giving the kids a great lesson in herpetology.



Quick edit. My hand still smells like a decaying rat

Sent by my brother. Found it this AM under a trailer we had parked by the camphouse which he slept in last night.

Difficult to tell what is snake and what is chancla. Camouflage!
