That's a good looking rat snake. It has eaten a lot of rats to get that big.

Not a rat snake. It's a harmless one, but that's the best I can do on an ID. I wanna say a type of King snake but I feel like that's wrong.

Edit after google… it's a garter snake (pretty sure)

Plain belly or "blotched" water snake.


Mom swears she smelled the scent moccasins put out. Any truth to other snakes? I trust the input on here, just being a messenger after I reported to them it wasn't a CM.

My dad could smell a moccasin really easily. Had a boss that could as well.

Thinking this is just a garden snake but wanted to confirm here?
Cat has brought in 2 now the past 2 mornings so guessing it found a nest.
In DFW, about 300-400 yards from body of water.

Didn't get a picture but caught a yellow bellied water snake munching on a freshly caught toad. I gave him a slight boop on the tail and the toad sprung to life and hauled ass.

I grew up in Humble and seen a few coachwhips, we had an emply lot next door and had all kinds of snakes in that yard. Mostly copperheads though.

Saw 4 diamondback water snakes this weekend, actually had my phone but was more focused on pointing out where they were. Shame too since one was a beautiful 3.5 footer that looked like it just shed

We got a lot of rain last night so most of the creeks were too fast for watersnakes. Found a brown snake on the trail and found 3 diamondback water snakes together huddled together between some rocks in a large pond.

PBWS I believe. Caught in the minnow trap.
Very grumpy.

Why "plain" and not "yellow" snake experts? My amateur guess would have been YBWS because there's so much yellow on belly.

What type of snake is this? In the Bahamas. I'm assuming some type of non-native Boa, but my FIL thinks it's a copperhead.

Edit: I now think it's a corn snake

Looks like a corn snake to me. Interestingly, they have apparently on been in the Bahamas since maybe the mid 90s. Corn snakes on Grand Bahama, a few recent observations Abaco Scientist (ncsu.edu)

I think the YBWS might technically be a sub species of the PBWS but I'll let that actual experts on the thread confirm that.

But for all intents/purposes and IDs sake they're the same.
