I may have posted this one on a previous years snake thread but don't recall. It's one my wife took in upstate PA on the family's property.

I'm guessing Timber Rattler? Aren't they usually lighter?
edit: Google tells me they also can be black like that. Super cool.

It's a timber rattler. The ones I've seen up there all seem to be black phase although they have some pics in their cabin of the yellow phase ones too.
The jet black head and eyes is just a wicked look.

Totally. Other than maybe the Eastern Diamondback with those stripes that look like war paint, that's the most badass snake I've seen. Oh and maybe the gnarly Gaboon Viper.
Another copperhead on the walking trail.
Too close wouldn't you say?
Very small snek, and I zoomed in. My dog was actually sniffing this one before I noticed.Cromagnum said:

Best my camera could do. Very well camouflaged. Almost stepped on it. Georgetown, Tx

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Good eye...
Dang, that brush cover is scary. At least in West or South Texas when a nope rope is under a *****ly pear, it is pretty clear around it so you can take a peek before retrieving your shotgun shell.
Need a snake ID if possible. Here in DFW. Was pretty long, like 6 ft, by the time I grabbed a pole to trap it, it had gone into the bushes. Couldn't see the head well enough to tell if triangular or oval.
Pattern you can sort of make out was consistent across body, no bands I could see. Couldn't get a look at underside.

Imma call rat snake.
Yep, long rat snake

Thank you.
You need an exterminator visit. And not for snakes
Sitting on your mat, must be a rat
Posted this in last year thread. Oops. Biggest coral I've ever seen. At a buddy's house.

Somewhat off topic but wife found this cute critter in our garage. She wanted me to come home and dispatch it and was not happy with my "just shoo it out of the garage with a broom" response.

Of course she wanted you to kill the insect killer. My wife would say the same, but she knows better. I always move the arachnids outside.
Just a big tickle friend really

And another…. Notice the green tail.
Have been on this thread for 5 years or so and thought I knew quite a bit about snakes...until I just saw the two distinct dots on top of this guys head. What are those?

Not sure if they have a reason other than camouflage? I've never read an explanation for them, but most copperheads seem to have them.
If I've stumped you then I feel ok about myself on this thread.
Ha!

That's where they like to be petted!
Sent to me by my dad in Bosque county. Camouflage makes him a little hard to see
