She was told correctly. That could've been bad.

Thanks. Very scary. There were young children on the playground at the time. And she said it was trying to bite her shoe when she was smashing it.
Most snake bites occur at this time (when someone is messing with it, to catch or to kill). In this instance I completely understand dispatching the snake, still gotta be REALLY careful how you do it.
Knowing my daughter, I'm surprised she did this. I told her she is very lucky it didn't bite her.

If it got to her shoe, she was quite close to a very bad day

Juvenile cottonmouth. Jagged bands and mascara on what's left of the head.

I don't mean to nitpick, but when you say mascara do you really mean eyeshadow?

She works at a daycare. Firearms are prohibited. But would have come in handy this morning.

I've always called it mascara and believe that's the typical nomenclature. Whatever you want to call the black stripe the goes from the eye, back.

Any help to ID this fella? 40 miles north of College Station, halfway to Waco. Found mostly rattlers in this area. But I don't think this is one? Young and small. About 18".

I'm notoriously bad at posting media of any type. My uncle stepped on this guy playing disc golf in Wichita County. Not sure what I think it is.

Based on the location, this could be a speckled/desert intergrade. I was actually leaning more desert based on the video but I'd defer to one of the experts on this one.

Good point. I'm an amateur that has seen way too many Facebook snake ID videos so more than happy to defer to the resident herpers

Had 3 snakes in the yard in a day but only had my phone on me for the water snake. Saw a few on the trails walking the dog but didn't have my phone on me again. Came home to a tarantula chilling on the front porch. Busy day

It's tough... not a coachwhip cuz they have pale underbellies without pattern. Probably a ratsnake based on the belly pattern. I'm guessing though. 12f may know.

Yeah that one is tough because there's only a small portion of belly left.

Posted on the neighborhood FB page. They must have been 100' away so I can't see the head but the pattern does look sorta cottonmouth'ish. Personally I would have gotten a lot closer but whatever.

This is a really tough one but I am going with gravid diamondback water snake. Neck to head ratio, band widths, and coloration all say diamondback to me, not cotton.

I was focusing on the bands and the body to tail thickness. The head was useless to me because it was so far away and out of focus.

Like I said, I would have gotten a lot closer but it was on the neighborhood page asking for an ID and I said cottonmouth.
