DBWS?

And if I'm correct, why are they so active lately?? That's 3 in a row on here...again, assuming I'm correct which may not be the case.
Because it was sunny and 80 for a few days and the ponds and bayous are cooling off.

It's probably also that all the other snakes are almost completely inactive. DBWS will stay active at cooler temperatures than most other s akes as they are nearly entirely aquatic and constantly live at cooler/more stable temperatures due to their aquatic environments.

Damn, now the snakes are even crossing the border illegally.

i know people hate snakes and all that but i don't understand how you can look at this thing and think anything but "that thing is really badass".

WDB's are just tough looking creatures

Agree. Any snake that gets that big is worthy of our respect

Tilling mulch into the garden for the winter and this little one came slithering out. Don't know what it is except it's not one of the four poisonous ones. Somebody let me know?

I will guess a rat snake that is either a juvenile or had it's tail chewed on.

In another group I am in, they say a corn snake is a variation of a rat snake. Is that correct?

It isn't really a variation of rat snake so much as it is a species in the rat snake family Pantherophis. The Texas/Western/Black Rat Snake = Pantherophis obsoletus (which many call the chicken snake) is another species in the same Pantherophis family.

Corn snake = Pantherophis guttatus

From about 6 months ago. Was playing catch with my son in the backyard in flip flops and almost stepped on it. If I had to do it again I would've thrown him over the fence.

And to round out 2021, found a nice 4' rat snake enjoying the unseasonably warm and humid weather. Hope you have a den nearby, fella.

Rained over 3" last night and didn't think I would see any snakes, ended up seeing 4 PBWS right off the trails in the newly formed puddles.
