Coachwhip

Sometimes also called a Red Racer or Pink Racer in western parts of the state where they sometimes get that reddish color.

Young cottonmouth acting bitey. Mason Creek trail in George Bush Park/Barker Reservoir, Katy.
Sorry for the resolution. It was getting dark.

Wife and I were on our bikes. It gave me a chance to drop some knowledge about the mascara line and slit like pupils. Of course, she says "yeah I'm not getting close enough to see its pupil shape."

About 42 hours in. The swelling has stabilized. It's followed my veins and lymbic system up the outside and back side of my left leg, sort of on the surface. The inside of my leg from man over my ankle up is almost unaffected. It's stopped about halfway up the side and back of my thigh.

The lower leg and foot gets pretty stiffly swollen if I stand and crutch around and gets better if I lay back and keep the leg elevated. It's sore likes bruise to the touch but doesn't hurt at all if I keep it pretty still.

One strange thing is if I lay down a while, then stand up, it does throb and ache as the blood and fluid flows back down into it at higher pressure. There is a lot of healing left to go. The foot itself around the bite has a bit of blue and purple tinge to it from bruising.

Not terrible but I've got some suffering left to do And then some recovery to get my foot and leg back up to normal function.

Apparently I am in a somewhat exclusive club of -7500 people in the USA that get bitten by a venomous snake. About 50% of those are copperhead bites.

Welcome to the club, Mouth. It has been 20 years since I was inducted, and I am still waiting on my members only jacket. Please let me know if they send you one.

Hope you're doin better!

I don't know what species it is, but it's the prettiest snake I can remember seeing.
In Bolivia. It's about 4' long.

My first thought as well. I was thinking are there any South American mambas?
oh no

google AI thinks it's one of these three:

Quote:

1. Common Green Racer (Chlorosoma viridissimum / Philodryas viridissima)
This is the closest visual match to a bush rat snake in the Bolivian Amazon. It is a uniform emerald-green color, highly arboreal, and feeds mostly on small birds and lizards. They are mildly venomous (rear-fanged) but generally harmless to humans.

2. Green Vine Snake / Flatbread Snake (Oxybelis fulgidus)
This incredibly slender green snake is native to Bolivia's tropical forests. While it shares a similar vivid green color, it is easily distinguished by its extremely elongated, spear-shaped, pointy head and whip-like body.

3. Sipo Snakes (Chironius)
Bolivia is home to several green Chironius species (parrot snakes/sipos), including the recently discovered Chironius whipala, which features a distinct emerald-green body, large eyes, and a yellowish snout

No mambas. Most of the venomous snakes are vipers and coral snakes. There are also some mildly venomous snakes around. The country is so big, rural and remote that it's best not to take chances with snakes and find out the hard way you just discovered a new species of highly venomous snakes.

Deadliest species in each state

Not a snake picture but thought y'all might appreciate that snakes rank highest in most states.

Overall, snakes dominate the threat landscape, topping the list in 14 states, according to the report.
Bears threaten eight states, while deer and other large ungulates account for 10 states.
Canines, including dogs and coyotes, rank as the deadliest animals in five states.
Biting and stinging arthropods, such as wasps, mosquitos and spiders, account for five states.
Equally, marine hazards also account for five states.

Alligators also rank as the deadliest animal in Florida and Texas, with the American alligator specifically topping Florida's list.

Wasn't expecting this...

Yeah, and Louisiana that has an alligator population 5 times that of Texas… the deadliest was the eastern diamondback rattlesnake.

That's because those cajuns know how to rassle dem gaters from birth.

Whitetail deer for me here in Arkansas. Not a surprise, they are everywhere and do not give a crap about cars. Still remember one Christmas Eve heading up I-30 to see my wife's family and we saw probably 1000 just feet off of the interstate over a 10 miles stretch.
