I had it pegged as a speckled.

You're not wrong.
When hybrid snakes (or other animals for that matter) can produce viable offspring usually on the fringes where two different species ranges overlap, you get an "intergrade" population which has genes from both species and is kind of a mix between the two species.
That's what's going on with this snake. It is an intergrade between speckled kingsnakes and desert kingsnakes and would presumably have genes from both. It's technically not wrong to call it a desert kingsnake or a speckled kingsnake since it is both.

Sorry, but this was the best pic my BIL could get last night. Just PBS or what?
Where was this taken?

Clute, about a block north of Hwy 332 headed to Freeport...
It's definitely a water snake and in that area almost definitely N. Erythrogaster PBWS/YBWS.

Was he at the old Burger King location? Or across the street at Rambo's furniture?
Near the old Long John Silvers..
Long John Silvers isn't there anymore?
Was he at Lake Hardware?

The building is still there, it's a "gourmet" hot dog place now. Snake was in parking lot between there & Lake.
Beautiful day outdoors today. Ran across this little guy.
I couldn't even find him until the third picture. I struggle telling them apart, but it's either a garter or ribbon snake. Both harmless.
Pretty sure just a ribbon snake but their in the same genus or something like that. My 11 y/o son found it first
better than me....i "found" it twice before getting to the third pic and realized i was just looking at leaves in the first two.MyNameIsJeff said:

How long do you want to ignore this user?

This one was posted on our neighborhood Facebook. I feel really proficient with adults but I struggle with babies. I said hognose.

You said correctly
The patterns on hognoses are so distinct that I can usually ID them without seeing the head.
Not sure if I can get a photo on here, so here goes.
Saw this guy in the San Antonio river last week. Anyone want to identify it?

Plain-bellied water snake?
DBWS
Found while clearing some brush for a blind. ID? Left him alone
Hognose
I've been trying to find a hognose forever and now that's all I see on this thread ! Hahaha
He wasn't sneaky enough.
Not me or my kin, but something MouthBQ would have done as a kid for sure...

Replace **** with the f-word (sorry for the extra work, but believe me it's worth it)
Also what kind of snake is that?

Buddy just killed this cause he hates snakes. Told him it's nonvenemous rat or DBWS. Help identifying.
Rat Snake
That's what I thought but it nearly gave him a heart attack when he opened his grill door
looks a little fat. that guy was probably in your friend's grill cabinet because he has had a rat or a mouse in there.
Your buddy sounds smart.
Is this about the little kid picking up a snake? "Stick Comes Alive"?SpreadsheetAg said:
