What is it? Very beautiful snake.
Yep and he's trying to act all venomous. "Fear my flat pointy head!"

Are those the ones that lit up Mike Rowe on Dirty Jobs?
Another Colorado entry. This one is from Eagle county.
In my neighbor's yard. Anyone know what type?

Hognose. These are the coolest snakes. They'll play dead after trying to convince you they're a cobra.
I have learned that through this thread(s).
Third night in a row in front of my house. Probably not the same one, but my wife is not pleased that I'm not killing them.

In my yard...it would be dispatched with prejudice. I and mine don't tolerate flesh rot, swollen limbs and agonizing pain.MPD280 said:

Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and myself founded empires; but upon what foundation did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon force! But Jesus Christ founded His upon love; and at this hour millions of men would die for Him. - Napoleon Bonaparte

Niece's husband dispatched him because she is a complete pain in the ass about her prissy little dog. Still trying to educate everyone that not all snakes are bad. Rockport area.
Snake had a mouse he was dealing with. Rat snake? Seems pretty lightly colored.

Tell your niece that rat poison kills more dogs than a rat snake ever did. Of course you knew that.
Nope! That's a man killer too.
Been a fairly good amount of snakes here. I've started to Just remove problem copperheads right around the front walk and carport, the others remove themselves before dawn, generally speaking. Lots of rat snakes trying to get in the hen house.
Had to dispose of a five footer that hung itself the other day trying to crawl up and inside. It got its head tangled in the anti-hawk netting I have draped over the 20x20 chicken pen I made, and couldn't back out, and died just hanging there. Found it a few hours later.
Also nearly mowed a small black and white (salt and pepper) speckled juvenile snake. Coach whip?

How big were the speckles? First thought was speckled kingsnake, but the dots are usually yellow on those. If the "speckles" were large than dots, could it have been a buttermilk racer?MouthBQ98 said:

Looked more like a speckled king snake but the speckles seemed more random than patterned, but very fine.
Common Kingsnake maybe?
Juvenile coachwhip or racer most likely.

Could it be a butternilk with the spots? Wasn't sure if they were that dark as juveniles.
Juvenile racers of all subspecies look similar (and very dissimilar from adult racers). They also look similar to juvenile coachwhips which also look dissimilar from the adult coachwhip. It'd be nearly impossible to tell a juvenile buttermilk from one of the more common yellow bellied racer subspecies around the state.

Good to know, thanks.
I'm a snake fan and generally a do no harm type, but yeah, that (and any other) copperheads around our house would get the shovel treatment.MPD280 said:

I've stated on almost every snake thread. I'm a BIG sneck fan but if there are kids or pets anywhere close venomous snakes gets the garden hoe.
Just hanging out
Where from? That's a funky looking atrox.

I don't see any rattles. You must have a lot of hogs.
