And just to rant, this kind of stuff drives me crazy. It's not "violent" strikes. It's just striking. It's defending itself. Idiots out themselves with their adjectives.

Social media makes it easier to document their idiocy.
Gracias @12f Mane - I knew 100% it was a species of watersnake but beyond diamondback and broad banded I get a little sketchy on the specific variety. I just knew without a doubt it was non-venomous.
Cold front is about to run through, first time in months I ran and did not see a single snake.
List of known accomplices: bigger rat snake dude
If you throw them over the fence, and they're adept at getting into your chicken coup; won't they just team up and try again?MouthBQ98 said:

Maybe, but the entertainment is almost worth a couple of eggs now and then,
Snake that big is not only eating chicken eggs, need to keep him around to take care of the other rodents
Rough Green Snake…unfortunately succumbed to vehicular traffic.
If you can't spot the moccasin, don't feel bad. I didn't either…until it moved about a foot away from where I was standing
Bingo.
Embarrassingly enough, I was actively trying to find snakes at the time, and still missed him laid out next to where I stepped. Oof.

I have had several people ask me how I find snakes and I always tell them to think one of these things doesn't belong. Shapes, shadows, smell, patterns, etc. that just don't seem right are the best way.
With that being said I'm not sure I would have caught that one right away, he is in there pretty good. First thing I thought when I saw him is you found Toothless. If you have kids you know who that is

Found this guy prepping the young chick coop that we haven't used in a while. It had a small meal in him. Classic rat. I showed him to the kids and let him go out back.
Here's one that lives under our porch, and I think he's a southern black racer... would love any thoughts. I can attest to the fact that he's fast as hell.
That would be a coachwhip here, right? Black racers are more eastern US, if I remember right.

This is a coachwhip, but several subspecies of racer do live in Texas.

Thanks to all who answered. Coachwhip was my second guess, but its tail stays so dark I wasn't sure.
Spent all day hiking around Joshua Tree NP looking for snakes to post here, and all I came across was this. Desert Spiny Lizard unless I am mistaken.

How long do you want to ignore this user?

Every time the War Department and I see a lizard perched some where, we always make the pa-ching sound. Last night in the neighborhood with an oak lizard on a hedge. I hope I've contaminated all of you now.

Rat snake?
Looks like a checkered garter snake to me.
Yeah not sure with the 3 stripes on the jaw
Dark top, yellow belly. Clearly a water hose.
I believe that is an eastern black-necked garter snake. Location?ATXAdvisor said:

Yep eastern black-necked garter snake. Very cool find. One of the prettiest rarely seen snakes in the area.

Still constantly learning something new on this thread.
I saw and had to kill a coral snake in my West Houston neighborhood this morning. It was aggressive and very fast.

How'd you do it? Just curious on method
What do we have here? This guy slithered back in the bayou but the neighborhood has a debate on what it is. I say a water snake.
