I live near the foothills in Colorado and see them quite regularly while mountain biking. I've had a few people tell me they have had their bikes struck at too, but never this, lol. Cool pic

Those snakes are so pretty.

For a little change of pace on this thread, caught this very pretty colored grey tree frog today to show the girls.

Wow.. For the experts. Why is the big one so much more orange? More mature?

Big mature female. But coloration is different on all individuals. Changing more as they get older.

Copperheads are in the minority in that they tend to get more vibrant as they age.

I always thought the green tip on the tail indicated juvenile. Is that not the case?

Cottonmouth? I saw the head and smelled a musk when I got close so I was 90% sure it was. Just hoping I didn't kill some sort of water snake

Saw this one the other day from a bike team facebook page. No idea the original source, but the story is the snake struck at the bike as it was riding by and got wrapped into the rear derailleur.

One more bike off the road

I think that one was riding on the dirt. Will probably only ride on the road (in the middle of the lane) from now on, just to be safe.

ID help with this one please? Dog found it out by the pool. Not very long, maybe 24" -30" but seemed pretty thick around. Pointy head. He's dead. Thanks in advance.

Star for witty comment of the day. I will still drink said beer because my favorite beer is already been paid (ABP) beer for.

Edit to say that I believe his name is Snakey as in Greg Snakey.

Honest question, not trying to pile on. Did you see bite marks on your dog's face or any signs of pain or distress? Or saw it strike and killed it out of sheer reaction? I've never been in the situation so I can't say how I'd handle it.

Did it have a rattle?

Does the "red and yella kill a fella" rhyme fit with the colors of this snake?

Did it have the unique and pretty markings of a copperhead?

Is it dark and has the mascara among the eyes that gets discussed daily on this board that tells you it might be a cottonmouth?

No?

To be honest with you, the only thing I noticed was that it didn't have a rattle. All the other stuff you listed I know nothing about. And I won't keep apologizing for it either

Saw it strike and then killed it. Small bite marks and blood on the dogs nose a few minutes later.

My policy is if they're outside I let them slide. If they're in the house they're dead. That's for snakes, spiders and mother-in-law's.

It is what it is... now you know. It was a youngish coachwhip so it does still have some juvenile markings that make it look strange.
