Thanks. I'll tell my wife I was correct that it wasn't venomous and also correct not to listen to her pleas of "kill it now!"

Double-check that all small pets are accounted for first
In those first two pics you can see the crinkly look that's classic rat snake. The pattern is also classic rat snake
Nice Louisiana milksnake. Where from?
Wellborn area. He must be a hurricane Katrina import?

https://imgur.com/a/1W4gEVs I don't post enough to keep up with posting photos protocol.These two were found within 20 feet of each other at different times. King was under some oild tiin and the second was in a lumberr pile. If I was him, I would be moving on.
Picture help. My guess is speckled king and then watersnake of some sort.
Yep
Guress at to kind of watersnake?
It's a yellow-bellied water snake
These two and the rat and hognose are kind that I have seen the most of since 1978 when I bought this place. Have yet to see a venomous one.
Found this coral snake on my walk through our neighborhood yesterday. He was right off a well walked trail, so I safely moved him off into the forest
Nice...

Really wide red bands on that one. Neat snake.
Hit this guy on accident taking my kid to school this morning. He tried to cross the county road and failed. We are on the Lavaca/Fayette county line. I know the ID but will let others guess for educational purposes. I've seen more snakes this spring than I have the past few years. May be just coincidence.
A friend walked past this guy as it slithered from her hallway into her bedroom.
PBWS?

Too thin, no? Not good at this but back half has a ratty look.
Yep, it's a Texas/western rat snake

Thought it was too ratty.

Saw this guy in my street while walking the dog last night.
These are copperheads, right?
edit: The Woodlands, TX by the way
Yes and most recent one is a juvenile, given the yellow/green tail.
Snakes were moving yesterday…….
Bottom pic looks like a bull snake. I stopped to keep him from getting run over.

God stuff
Saw another 5 snakes yesterday, PBWS and diamondbacks. Was only able to get 2 good pictures since the other 3 were water snakes swimming away after we first spotted them.
I have been working with my fiance on how to spot animals and she has caught on quickly, she spotted 3 of the snakes before I did. Her grandfather was a pilot who became a general, her dad was a military pilot that flew commercially for years after he retired from the service, and her brother is a commercial pilot. Needless to say I think she has the pilot eyes and will become better at spotting animals than me in no time.

I understand how yellow-bellied racers got their name. They are extremely fast. I have tried to catch them many times as a kid. I have seen them crawling in shrubs and small trees.

Spotted this hognose in full flattened out mode the other day. Figured he was trying to spread out as much as possible to try to soak some sun through the clouds.
He's flattened out because he saw you and is trying to hide. Great snake!
Friend sent this yesterday from just north of Atlanta,GA
What do we think?

Black ratsnake
rat snake was my first guess, but some of the coloration gave me pause12f Mane said:
