What we got here? Lil buddy was just hanging out in my back yard licking the air.. almost seemed completely oblivious to my presence for a good few seconds.
For grins, spotted these two facing off tonight. It's been an active night for critters around my place.
Rat snake. Harmless.
That coon might have met his match with a pretty good size possum. At best a draw I'd think.
Notice how the snake's body looks crinkled. That's a dead give away it's a rat snake. The coloration/pattern also give it away
Not a snake but thought it looked cool
I've come a long way on letting snakes live
But I'd still kill that MoFo with fire

Very cool, large caterpillar.

I believe that is correct. 3+ inches long. Lake Livingston.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Just another reason I love this thread. I got to share my new knowledge of Regal moth larva with the kids and it made mom look super cool.
Authorities in Grand Prairie are warning about a missing venomous West African Banded Cobra snake that is on the loose. https://t.co/wPN6vpYbIS

Had some competition fishing this afternoon.
Can (did) that snake get that big of a fish down the hatch?

I'm wondering why it's tail first
I didn't have an hour+ to sit there and watch, but I bet that's right in the cusp of too big for that snake. I could see it going either way. Tail first definitely isn't ideal, but trout fins are soft so it may not be a problem.
I'm typically pro snakebut this b***h was sitting in the dark about 4 inches from my two year old. Counting my blessings tonight that he didn't take a wrong step and that I saw him soon enough
I'm with you on that one. Got a two year old of my own.

Wife had a big rat snake meet her at the front door again. Apparently they like climbing the front door. This time she didn't let go a bloodcurdling scream but she did say something to the effect of "are you fuming kidding me?".
4' rat snake was caught in the front flowerbed and relocated.

Coworker said he came home the other day and a 3-4 foot rat snake was on top of his fridge. No idea how it got in his house.
That'll get you to scour the house for entry points.
Surprisingly slow around here so figured I'd post screenshot of article I just saw on twitter.
Rattler? Or weird patterned CM?
Looks like the headline writer had it wrong but whoever posted the tweet knew what they were doing.

Mascara is always the dead giveaway. Learned that here.

Canebreak. Mascara. Why I was asking.
The pattern is pretty typical for a juvenile cottonmouth.Reginald Cousins said:

10-4 unfamiliar with juveniles.
Didn't have my phone to snap a photo and haven't been able to find a good picture online that was similar, so looking for some ID help.
Was cleaning out the landscaping last weekend when I spotted a 24"-30" long danger rope that was coiled under one of the agave I was pruning. First inclination was to chop his head, but I decided to let him wriggle away. Mostly black snake with bright yellow spots/markings on the back in a linear type pattern. Probably 3/4" - 1" at it's widest part and smallish head. I had just found part of his shed in another part of the yard, which was surprising because I don't usually get snakes in the yard, so he was bright. This was in Austin.
