I believe that's a DBWS, but the head up and ridge in the back has me a little unsure

It's a PBWS. I thought diamondback at first glance due to the dark lines on the sides, but it's just a younger PBWS that still has a clearly defined pattern.

Fun with snakes. I get up early to take my old farm truck suburban in for an inspection, and decide to check the oil and coolant. Pop the hood and there's a 4' rat snake coiled up amongst the spark leads and fuel rail on top of the block. With much poking and prodding I was able to get it to stick out its head, then coax it free. Got a bite for my trouble.

This afternoon I hear the dog "critter alert" bark in the back yard and sure enough, she's found a water snake.

What happens by tonight? Who knows.

This is actually good news.

Rats will chew on wiring of some models of vehicles.

You have a preventive measure in place.

I was about to ask if you were having an allergic reaction. Those look like what pusses up when I get some bad ant bites.

Not a snake, but snake-like in shape...This was a first for me. I caught it with a castnet in Rockport today. I know what it is, but I'll let y'all guess if y'all care to...

Why are you getting so many water snakes? You're not that close to any water from what I remember...?

A couple of my neighbors have ponds/tanks and there is a creek to the west of us a quarter mile or so. We have a lot of toads and frogs in our area as we're in a shallow valley and have soil and an environment that they apparently like. Prey brings in predators.
