    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

Fuck. Every. Bit. Of.  That.  

Note to self:  Stay the fuck away and out of Formoso River, wherever the fuck that is.  

If he was minding his own business, why was he in the snake’s water? Gentrification?

“This encounter proves they are not aggressive towards humans”

OR 

It proves he was fucking full

Gave it a quick little snake job. Snake is back in the leaves telling his friends, “I never thought it would happen to me...”

U.S. Marines are indeed deadly creatures.

Went out looking for hognose snakes yesterday and ended up seeing this Rough Green snake. Only the second one I have managed to catch.

Saw these guys about 100 yards apart a couple of weeks ago, before the cold front. You're not getting close-up, beautiful pictures from me. Especially with that mean one! I'll leave those to Swayze.a93ab5ed24d9151379dab39eb5cd4e47.jpgff8ef93eecfe5e30ab47c69acaad0499.jpg

Isn’t that second one a Bull snek?

Bull and gopher are different name for the same species.

Double post.

 

But then looked it up. Different name for same species. Mainly an eastern and western thing.

I found one in my back yard that I kept as a pet for almost six years. Never snapped at me once, easily the nicest snake I’ve ever owned. And they’re typically pretty mean. RIP Billy Jack.

Our 7th grade science teacher had one that she caught out in West Texas and it was constantly striking the glass. It got so bad that she decided to keep it covered during class.

That surprises me, but I guess Houston is more Timber friendly than Western Diamondback?

You might find timber and Pygmy rattlesnakes in the far north or northeast suburbs. But not real common. Western diamondbacks in Galveston and just a bit west of sealy. But that’s a stretch.

Interesting thing about my part of the world (North Central Texas) is when Fall starts sending cold fronts in, those Western Diamondbacks will crawl out on country roads, and warm themselves at night. Most people drive right by, thinking it's a stick between the two lanes. If I see that coontail coloration when I drive by, I'll stop and go back, which my wife HATES!
