I was an "any snake near the water is a water moccasin" moron up until a few years ago when I had a slow time at work and went through every snake thread.

About 20-25 years if taken care of properly. Don't over-feed them; nice, big tank; good water, etc.
Will get about 5 feet long.

Love these threads. I still struggle identifying some snakes but at least I've graduated from the "only good snake is a dead snake" mentality.

Yep. Four is a diamondback from around Galveston where they are often more buff/brown than individuals from the western/southern portion of their range in Texas. Five is a large adult mojave from the foothills of the Davis Mountains. Mojaves look a lot like diamondbacks but the bands on the tail aren't white and black and the dorsal scales are solid colors.

Every time I think I have it down I come back and get swatted out to half court by reality.

I could have SWORN that #3 was a Bull Snake!

Bullsnakes will have a repetitive, hexagon-ish pattern somewhat similar to a rat snake. 3 is a timber rattler that has black stripes that I've heard described as looking like the bat signal.
