Yeah, it sucks that they are venomous because they are a strikingly awesome looking snake.BreNayPop said:
That's a gorgeous copperhead. I hate venomous snakes, but can appreciate their beauty.

Came home the other night and found this fella in the road. He had been hit but stayed pretty intact.
I think it's the one I saw in the past week and encouraged to get out of the road then.
He was a good sized copperhead.

I always assume water snake over Moc, but I think we have a live one.

This sucker was in our pool and my wife was not happy about it.

That's neat and maybe the first one posted on here - glossy swampsnake. Southeast Texas?
Awesome my kids are going to be so stoked to find out their dad was way off hahaha. Yes, SETX. a few years back I found a one off in this thread as well, some sort of green something or other. This sucker could SWIM.
I think that's a first for me.
First thought was rough earthsnake but it just doesn't look right. Then I convinced myself I could see faint lines on it that looked like some kind of garter or lined snake.

Yeah, swampsnakes are 100% aquatic, even more so than the watersnakes.
How large do they grow?
That one is full grown, might even be a preggo female. Cool thing with them is they only eat molting/soft crayfish.
Are those also called crayfish snakes?

Not in Texas. Around here we call them Crawfish Snakes, Crawdad Snakes or Mudbug Snakes.Badace52 said:

A couple out in Glasscock County yesterday.
Western hognose and coachwhip.
I have never seen a Hognose out in these west Texas neck of the woods.
Coachwhips, sure!
Coachwhips, sure!
At first glance I thought it was a short bull/gopher snake. I'm used to eastern hognoses with much more vibrant patterns.
Did you stop and grab that level? It might still be good...
I didn't even notice that! Was focused on the snake!
My most favorite.
Beautiful speckled kingsnake
Yep. Used to be called glossy crayfish snakes but the genus got split.
Sent to me by my neighbor so not great quality. Was in our backyard. Think I know what it is but want some confirmation…
I miss all the water snakes, but I'll go plain bellied water snake.

I usually let this thread grow some and then enjoy a nice leisurely scroll through it all. This is why I do it, for gems like this along with IDs. You can tee it up with the best of them Gregg.jgh85Ag said:HoldMyBeer said:
West Houston about 18" long. Sorry about the poor picture but the wife wasn't getting close to the head.

Does anyone here think the Glossy Swamp and Louisiana Pine snake look a little like Eastern Brown snakes from Australia? Prior to finding this thread years ago, I'd never heard of either of the first two.12f Mane said:

Since I have a BIL from Queensland, I've been educated on the Brown, especially their lethality.
He was moving very slow moving this morning and in the middle of a rural road, so I helped him off to the side and into the grass. Northern VA/ Leesburg. ID?
Black rat snake.
My uneducated guess was a eastern/black king snake …
Not a snake but can anyone tell me what kind of turtle this is?
