I thought the longer tail vs short and stubby on cotton mouth. Not sure if that is a good indicator

College Station/Raintree. Was working along house foundation and my wife came within a few inches but thankfully didn't strike. Didn't want to kill him and for about 15 minutes I attempted to relocate but he was having none of that.

Square trash can / broom. Copperheads are usually pretty easy to move as they are pretty docile IMHO.
I agree and have relocated several in the 30 years I have lived here. Had my plastic leaf rake and 10 gal. bucket but he wasn't making it easy. I had work to do and the last thing I wanted to do was to take the shovel to him.zooguy96 said:Alte Schule said:

That's one bright green tail.
I wonder how many relocated venomous snakes end up tagging a human later in their life? Probably a very, very small number. But, that number is not zero.
Probably not nearly as high as the number of people that get tagged trying to kill a venomous snake and/or handling a "dead snake".Texmid said:

I'm not saying this as a person that is against killing snakes, just that most people put themselves in significantly more danger trying to kill one.
Heard a scream this morning from our receptionist followed by "there's a snake in the office". I ran to find a 6-8" ribbon snake frantically trying to find it's way out. Didn't get a picture because I left my phone on my desk. Cute little guy though. Picked him up and released him outside away from the building.

I'm more worried about the number of dogs and kids coming through. I don't relocate venomous snakes but I have reformed to let the others live and this thread has been a great help.
I got tagged by a spider once and it had a similar "fang" mark apperance to it.
Yeah the width makes me think its no big deal, just making sure I'm not being stupid disregarding it.
Any experts wanna help ID this snake? A fellow ag needs to know if he should sell his house or not.

Hognose.
Looks like a Hognose to me.
They are harmless. No need to hurt it. It's trying to scare you.
Our seven year old daughter was on the back porch and came in screaming.
Luckily the JRT ran to the rescue and made short work of the little *******.

Looks like it was gravid (eggs or young).
Still had the yellow greenish tail...barely.
What kind is this? We are at 6,500ft above sea level just outside of Yellowstone. Not poisonous but sure would like to know.
Thanks

Not super familiar with non-Texas snakes, but I think that's just a common garter snake. Definitely non-venomous.
Wandering garter snake
Went out to concho county this weekend to fill up feeders. Ran across 3 rattlesnakes.
Snake 1 - About a 4' snake that was 10' away from me when I was sitting down dove hunting. Looked really thin and young, but then we uncoiled him and saw his length and about 10 rattles. Think old guy that's deteriorating? Did not rattle.
Snake 2 - about 4' long. Did not rattle.
Snake 3 - about 4' long. Rattled his ass off and bowed up. He was pissed to see us out of the truck and walking his way.

Awesome. #1 might be a female that just dropped all her babies. Hopefully she gets a meal or two before the first cold front hits.
#1 May have also spent a lot of time around wild hogs and has learned to keep quiet.
Check out this guy, pretty sure it's a young coachwhip. On my neighbors back porch this morning. Safely relocated.
Very cool snake. How did you manage to catch it?
Two of us herded him into a large trashcan….took a while

Why a square trash can?

Easier to get the snake in. You can set it on the ground flush.
That's just in my experience.
I know a lot about a little, and a little about a lot.

How long do you want to ignore this user?

Forgot to add this guy/gal from vacation. Saguaro NP. I didn't verify concavity or cloaca location so gender will just have to remain a mystery. I'd imagine they have the same tracking requests?

I can't find the snake.
Nice Sonoran desert tortoise.

I normally don't shoot these guys but...he bit my dog and was too close to the house...
I cant even tell what that is because of your potato phone pic.
