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.
Broad banded water snake?
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.
Yep, checkered garter. Good stuff
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!
Better give it another year.
throw a few wounded grasshoppers and lizards in that bucket. he'll get bigger, eventually, if that's what you want.
Eastern garter snake, hard to come by in Texas. You in the Columbia Bottomlands somewhere?
Snake was found in Kansas north of Wichita
Pretty snake!
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.ChillyAg19 said:

The last few pages of this thread have been an awesome beauty contest. Those garters and indigos are beautiful and cool.
Stolen from the internet but San Francisco garter snakes is one of the snakes I know I will probably never see in person but would be awesome to
They are incredible looking and one of the most beautiful snakes on earth but holy saturation batman.
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...

Tell him the rattlesnakes in the area say thanks!

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.
