Never seen that kind of centipede. We only have those huge red-headed behemoths.

It was epic battle between scorpion and centipede. Centipede was the aggressor. Snake played dead, ID on it?

I have probably killed 150 of those bark scorpions at our land in the last year - at least 40 inside the house. They are tough to try to control.

Didn't know there was such a snake. Thank you for adding to my knowledge!

Description:

The flat-headed snake is Missouri's smallest snake. It is smooth-scaled, and the general color is tan, gray brown, or slightly reddish brown. The head is sometimes darker than the rest of the body or is black. The belly is salmon pink, a characteristic that distinguishes it from the similar-looking earthsnakes, which have grayish or cream-colored bellies

Have you tried DemonWP? We used to get a bunch of those in our duplex back when I was in school (got hit twice) and after spraying didn't have any problems. Mostly just swept the little a holes' corpses up.

I believe you're correct, but I'll wait for one of the more knowledgeable posters to verify

Dekays Brown snake non-venomous and eats slugs and insects. I'd assume adult or adolescent.

Everything here is accurate... Looks more like a pretty average sized adult to me than a juvenile.

Saw what I'm guessing is a juvenile DBWS on a walk with the dog the other day. Little sucker wouldn't let me get any closer, he ran away pretty quick

Saw this one today. My best guess is banded water snake, but the dark patterning threw me for a loop.

Also correct... Mostly. It is a broad banded water snake and it is abnormally dark and drab in coloration. It is likely about to shed.

Sad to report that this old girl has passed on. We'll have a new matriarch in the lake now.

Killed this little guy last week. Sorry, didn't take a pic till after I had chopped him in little pieces.

He was inside an old dead stump. I tried to remember all the sayings, but finally got out the text machine and googled it.

I saw this on a hike in Austin today. It was about 2 1/2 feet long. Anyone know what type it is?

That's a tough one for me without a better look at the head. I would probably respect it enough for a cottonmouth until proven otherwise.
