So that snake on IG was a cottonmouth, right?
Either that or a water moccasin.

Saw 5 snakes today in Hamilton and mills counties on dirt roads. They were really moving! Only got close enough to 2 to identify - a copperhead and a rattlesnake

7th grade daughter is out with some friends. FaceTimed me with this one. They wound up getting it on a chicken thigh they were fishing with.

Had the pleasure of hunting on the King Ranch this weekend and had this pretty thing greet us in the morning on the front porch trying to mimic the running W. About 2.5' long. Species?

I will guess checkered garter snake. But 2.5 seems too big for that

Also saw this awesome 6ish foot blue indigo. Sure gets your heart rate up until you figure out what it is.

Thx. That's what our guide called it (just garter). It might have been closer to 2' but no shorter.

The drought and heat kept them away all summer, but cooler temps and a bit of rain, and I find one. Looks a bit undersized.

Still barely rocking the juvenile tail. Cool seeing him balled up in the second picture!

That makes sense, very cool. Interestingly enough the subspecies up there is the "red-sided" garter snake and the "eastern" garter snakes in southeast Texas have very similar coloration, with the bright red and black checkered pattern, despite not have a geographical connection.

The last few pages of this thread have been an awesome beauty contest. Those garters and indigos are beautiful and cool.

My only-good-snake-is-a-dead-snake brother in law killed one recently without knowing what it was.

I went and found what was left of it. Speckled king...

Kingsnake. In that area they are more or less intergrades between speckled and desert kings.

I know... I told him most people would probably call that one a desert king.

He had actually correctly identified it already. He's a pretty bright guy who loves the natural world too. Interventional cardiologist in Amarillo.
