I don't blame you, you want to protect what you love. I'm personally the same way, which is why I follow this thread each year so I can have some knowledge built up in the event it's necessary. Regardless of venomous or not, if it's close enough to my kids or strikes one, I'd have a hard time letting it slither away.

Fun fact: coachwhips will eat rattlesnakes
Copperhead got my Weimaraner.
Bite plus 36 hours.... He he's doing fine.

Copperhead popped one of my parents boxer mixes the other days. A little Benadryl and two days later doggie is same as normal. My mom said she has seen about 10 copperheads this week alone
Decent chance he wasn't dead, unless you killed him. They like to play that way.HelotesAg said:
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.
Nah somebody smashed that snakes spine in.

Cottonmouth. He doesn't look happy with his bonnet.
He's actually dead and that bead is holding his head up.
My snake population has vanished. This central Texas drought has sent them all to water.
Crazy
With what you have around there I wouldn't necessarily say that is a bad thing. My parents house is around 150 yards from our pond and they have seen an uptick in copperheads. Combine that with taking the cows off the property and they are moving around more.
In Collin county we finally got some rain and we had more water snakes moving about. Haven't seen any other kind of snake in a month or two, seen dozens of these around the golf course ponds though.

Not sure many ball pythons are just running around outside… title should be, mom is terrified of someone's pet snake but their child isn't.
DBWS ?
yes
A dbws that looks big enough to at least attempt to eat that rat that's staring at him.
ETA I guess the rodent is safe. I just looked it up and water snakes don't eat rodents - just fish and amphibians. As aggressive as they are, I thought maybe they'd go after swimming rodents, but according to the interwebs, that's a no.

That snake ain't missing many meals.
Someone please tell me I just let a rat snake go. He's been hanging around my front porch in the flower beds.
Flushed him out of the flower bed with a water hose and he started climbing up a stone wall.

You sure did
How's the water level at the pond? Snake looks healthy
The three ponds are suffering again, down at least two feet from their most recent highs. I'm still seeing several large catfish and plenty of perch, so the prey still seems adequate for the small population of snakes, which includes a darker one that is larger than the one pictured.
Appreciate the ask!

Good to hear! Our pond by the house is getting low but I saw a big ole girl the other night on a run that was pushing 4.5' and thick. We need rain…
Sorry for quality, neighbor is asking for ID. Is that a hog nose I see?
that's my guess as well
The faint pattern I can see tells me plainbellied water snake.
Dang, large snake. I was under the impression the largest dbws were around 5', but just looked it up and now see that some reported snakes can be closer to 6'.
Indeed... a non-life threatening tropical depression would be very much welcomed right now.
