We all know Springtime is snake time.

    Flipped a board just outside of Austin and found 2 Coachwhips and one Western Diamondback.  The buzz worm tagged one of the coachwhips and he took of.  I can't find anything definitive on whether thei

    Awesome ratsnake SurlyBDR. Well, it was a very active day out in the Katy Prairie.  I figured it would be a good day to go with all the rain that we had, but wasn't expecting all the flooding.  I

    I thought I was going to find a bunch of cool snakes today.  Only saw two ribbon snakes.  However, one was being eaten by a hawk, so that is pretty cool.  Not the best or sharpest shots, but still coo

I tried to pour salt on it but that only works for slugs. 

Good snek. 

Had a snake in my garage yesterday.  Pretty sure it was a ribbon snake. It was long and thin, long stripes. I tried to grab it but it was too fast.  As far as I know it’s still in the garage.  It needs to vacate ASAP. 

It's probably not in your garage anymore. They mostly go in to garages to mate. Most of their feeding/living time is spent in the attached dwelling.

400mm. But I was as close as I could get and still focus (1.6 meters). Non venomous snake so zero fucks given.

Not sure if this headless snek will post. One head was cropped and the other removed via pistol Saturday.

Y’all must think I am crazy, but I want to get some good shots of pit vipers.  Pretty easy to find cottonmouths here, but rattlesnakes are rare. I never see them in central Texas when I am over from Houston. 

Only one I have seen was in Big Bend State Park in Closed Canyon.  Juvenile Black Tail.  Focus on its head is really soft.  meh.

Well, he looks half white so...

Look at the size of that thing.

This is why people should be able to own flame throwers.

fucker is hanging out in the weep hole of my house---guess I better just burn the whole house down

nope nope nope

Is there a full body iron man suit that I can wear out on the ranch to go hunt these fuckers. I have a feeling I am going to need to murder a bunch this year. I am not going to risk snake boots being enough after seeing that abomination above.

May have answered my own question. 

Looks like it is this:

Looks like the boas breeding with the rattlers out in Florida.  Nightmarefuel.

In the words of the immortal Archie Bunker, "Good night nurse"

I was spraying some weeds in the yard in sandals and had snek jet out from a bush and across my foot. I'm assuming it was some kind of non poisonous garden snek, but still scared the shit out of me.

taking the little ones fishing / camping has been especially nerve racking the past few weeks. luckily we haven't found anything yet.
