I missed it too. I was wondering what you even posted for a second.

I couldn't make out the mascara very well in that pic.

Cream horizontal stripe along the jaw, eyes, and generally pissed off expression are giveaways too.




Brightened up the pic and rotated … torture the data and it will talk to you … looks a little more sinister. Also, touched the "look up" function in the apple photo app and it identified it as a water moccasin.

Ok, we've been in this house 25 years & never seen a coral snake, then our dog takes out 3 in the past 12 months, y'all said could be coincidence..well he got #4 tonight. Am I missing something, under pool filter/heater or what should I look for?


Edit to say I know to look out for more coral snakes ....

I used to encounter a lot of spreadin' adders late night at the locals' bars up and down the coast. It was very important to have your "snake bite kit" (a/k/a "Jimmy") handy on these trips because a lot of these snakes were looking for ways to relocate.

Those water snakes sure look mean! Thank you all for the help. It slithered away hopefully never to be seen again.

I wasn't there, thought it sounded like a stretch from that pic, but he said it went by an 8' utility trailer we have off the driveway for reference..

BIL also said, the snake didn't want to give up its spot on the driveway and shook its tail like it had an actual rattle ...

Another beautiful snake coming into the yard from Barker Reservoir. Luckily saved it from the JRT... this time.


First we have seen in 12 years.

We have seen PB, BB and YB watersnakes, 1 coral snake, 1 copperhead, lots of water moccasins and now the speckled king.

Beautiful "chain" king or speckled king for the non-herpers.
I know a lot about a little, and a little about a lot.

Mills county. The original poster of this photo on Facebook has a place a couple miles from our property in mills county. That area received 6-8" of rain last night. Rattlesnake was seeking high and dry ground!

Just caught a quick glimps of this approximately 3-4' snake going across my back porch. Small head but need help identifying if I should worry about the kids and dog.

Looks like a rat snake to me, but I will let the experts chime in.
