Ring necked snakes can have very dark heads in some areas which might appear black.

A couple of casualties on the road just south of Addicks dam in Houston. Both a little more than a foot long. Sorry about the bad angle of the head on the 2nd. Didn't look close until I got home but almost looks like a mascara line through the eye.
ID?

mojooutdoors ig page has a cool video of a blue indigo running off with someone's downed dove.

A few years back I posted a photo of my cousin holding one with a dove in its mouth.

Wife just texted me there's a tiny western ribbon snake under our baseboard gap in the master bedroom...

Haha; she flipped out until she was able to identify it

Indigo?

EDIT: Pretty sure I'm wrong and Jeff (if that's his name!) is correct.

The eyes and the brownish coloration towards the tail make me say coachwhip. Not certain though.

Started a thread already but posting here as well. Long story short, one and three year old kids were playing on the porch and this guy was curled up about a foot from them, made a snap judgment and disposed of him. I know you can't see the head thanks to my efforts the and butt of the BB gun, but what are thoughts on venomous or not?

I. Also leaning CM. The thin tail compared to the body is what I'm seeing.

Look at the mouth
Look at the head shape
Look at the banding/pattern and the blotted (not sure that's the right description) edges
Look at the hint of a yellow/green tail
Not to mention the color and belly pattern/color…

This is absolutely a Cottonmouth, and a younger one at that. Not sure on size but the faint color on tip of tail is a dead giveaway of it being a juvenile.

Pretty sure it's not thick enough for it's length ti be a CM. Tail isn't completely visible but appears to be too long and pointed, and the head (smashed for sure) doesn't seem to be large enough. I'm calling is a non venomous water moccasin.

It's not thick enough because it's a juvenile. The tail is skinny and greenish/yellow because it is a juvenile. Cottonmouth all the way

Most of us on this page typically don't kill snakes, myself included, but I would have killed this one in your situation 100 times out of 100.

Thanks for the validation guys. Like I said, it was a snap judgement and I am far from a snake expert (hence coming here for the ID help) but didn't want to leave it to chance given the stakes

I can you make out anything on the destroyed head?

Always love to learn more about IDing snakes. Thanks!
