Need Help!!! - Snake ID??? - Page 4

Tony it may be and probably is the Texas Rat Snake. I think they have all turned out to be that one except the garter snake with the red stripe. I looked back on my own pictures and realized that it is not the one from before. That one had the bandits mask and so did the one in the shop. This one has no mask. It helps somewhat knowing that it is not poisonous. Thanks for your help!

Giving a snake swimming lessons doesn't work so well Patty... Not like squirrels and Raccoons.. lol :^)

LOL Shrek, it's not for swimming lessons, but all that oil is killing all the other wildlife so why not pesky snakes?

I know the ID of this one. It is a RATTLESNAKE!!!!!! I think it is a Diamondback. Thank God Greg is home now and I have some help with these varmints! If you click on the pictures and click again you can see a larger version of the picture if you want to.

I had just walked my front yard checking my bananas and other plants. Went back outside to get my suitcase out of my vehicle and low and behold this was looking up at me right where I had walked a few minutes before.

The shape of the head here.

You can see the cat like pupils in this one.

There are four rows of rattles not counting the tip end.

Y'all want to come on down and visit me here in Texas????

That is def a Diamondback rattler! You DONT wanna get bit by that! And yeah, LOL!, I'd def come visit you in Texas! I see them all the time here. We wear tall boots when we hike around the lake since they're everywhere. I've even seen them coiled up and ready to strike. That's when you need to back up real slow. Awesome shots!

Thanks for sharing!

A Western Diamondback rattler, the black and white bands near the rattle base is a good indicator. Small but feisty I'm sure, what was the length about 4 feet (1.1 meters) ?

I've caught an Eastern Diamondback about the same size in my previous front yard in Florida. They are much calmer than the Western Diamonbacks.

Nice catch!

Cory, I generally run around here in flip flops, so I am am not thrilled with this latest snake that's for sure.

Caloosamusa, I'm guessing it was 2 to 2 1/2 feet long. The shed snakeskin I found in the attic a couple of weeks ago was about 6 feet long. That I think was the one looking out over the crown molding. That one wasn't a rattlesnake though (at least I don't think so).
