Ok, our little dog caught this under my wife's chair outside....
We've been here 20+ years and this is just the 3rd coral the dog ever got in the past 12 months, what should I be looking for.. where would they be breeding? ...crazy...
Rough earth snake?

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Probably coincidental.
We saw 2 corals in a short time frame. 5 years later, haven't seen another. But, does not mean they are not around.

Corals like to hide. That is why you usually don't see very many.
I know a lot about a little, and a little about a lot.
Lavaca County
I'll wait for y'all to ID it. I just identified him as non-venomous so I left him alone. Hopefully I was correct in that assessment. He was about 24-30" long.

Nerodia erythrogaster... it has kinda an intergrade coloration but most ppl would label that one a PBWS or YBWS depending on the color of its underside.

Cool pics!! All of these snake species can be found within Texas' borders as well...

Yup, seen all except the rattlesnakes in east Texas by the border.
i just never seen those first 2 (mud snakes?). guessing they are in marshlands?
Yes mudsnakes... they are found in swampy areas throughout East Texas

Couple good ones out or under sheet metal around Victoria recently, including this real looker of a copperhead
Wow! That one takes his name very seriously.12f Mane said:

Herp dudes -- is that bright copper color a product of hibernation and avoiding exposure under the metal?

Still the best thread on this site. Love bookmarking this one every year. Keep up the good work, gents!
I think the bright copper color is more an adaptation to evolving along side live oaks. They match fallen live oak leaves pretty well.
This one just came across on Next Door. Juvenile Texas Brown? Ribbon snake of some variety? Location near Bastrop.
Adult Texas Brownsnake
Thanks. I am used to seeing more of the checkered pattern on them between the stripes so thought maybe this was a juvenile or something.12f Mane said:

They're somewhat variable in that sense and the striped versions are less common in my experience.
Still learn something new almost every day on this thread. Thanks!
The more I learn on this thread the less I know about snakes…I feel like a second grader that thinks they figured math out…
About a month after I started on the coop my wife sent me a frantic message asking if it is true that chicken coops attract snakes and I had to talk her off the ledge and discuss rat snakes with her. 2 days after we brought the chicks home I was away at work and she sent me this picture freaking out and all I responded with was "They know."

Chickens also eat baby and young snakes, if you let them roam around outside their coop and/or run. So there is the added advantage (plus soil amendment) if you can talk her into letting them run loose part of the day. Not to mention darker yolks
I'm the one that is iffy about letting them run around. We have a lot of woods around us and one neighbor so I am worried about chickens disappearing or annoying the neighbor. Additionally our portion of the property that has our home and garage on it has a lot of concrete and idk how I feel about a ton of chicken crap everywhere. I'm definitely weighing it though for sure because it is very appealing.
removed my comment - was getting too far off the topic of snakes.
Yea that would fall under the category of chickens disappearing. I've seen 3 or 4 strays in the 10 months we have lived here and 2x it was a big ass pit bull. It won't like what happens next time I catch it on my property. Idk how big hawk territory is but we've had several flying over our place daily for a very long time. I am surprised we still have our little outdoor kitten tbh.
And agreed, back to snakes! The one in the pic above apparently stopped dead in its tracks when the wife and dogs were outside, im sure in an effort to go unnoticed by the dogs. I'm honestly surprised it is the first rat snake we have seen.

Broad-bands can be really pretty. It's too bad they're all mostly a-holes
