October 12, 20205 yr My friend in the backyard showed up today. He was too quick to get a good picture. Edited October 12, 20205 yr by NorthLoop
October 27, 20205 yr 2 corral snakes within the same week, when I hadn’t seen 1 in years. I didn’t get a before pic on the first 1, he met his judgement when trying to go into my garage but now I have to wonder if there is a nest near by. 1st one must have been a parent because he was way bigger than the 2nd.

November 9, 20205 yr We've seen a huge increase in coral snake sightings this year in the neighborhood, which seems to match other folks as well. There has to be a scientific reason for what makes this year different. Anybody know? Other than "forget it Jake, it's 2020".

I guess that makes sense, although I am pretty active regardless of pandemic status and have seen more this year than probably the last 3-4 years combined. But that's just one data point.

I was just spit ballin, but keeping it in mind to compare with the next few years might not be a bad thing. You never know, for just going off instinct, animals are pretty smart and more sensitive to changes.
November 25, 20205 yr This guy was out late. Thanks 2020, you thought of everything including cottonmouths on thanksgiving
December 4, 20205 yr This little feller decided to take up residence inside an irrigation system valve access in a flower bed at the front of my joint. Of course, that caused Crystal Palace to go to DEFCON 1 and spark plugs were pissed on. I got the alert at 9 am and didn’t get home until 7:30 pm so snek got one more night to do snek stuff in our flower bed. I waited until the cold morning when he was lethargic to snatch him up and relocate him to the nearby wooded park. It’s a pretty hognose with great markings. Enjoy yourself, snek.

December 4, 20205 yr Another one. Really cool markings on this one. Probably the lighting and camera has an impact, but I love the darker markings.
December 4, 20205 yr Used to have rattlesnake roundups on the rocky bluffs on our place. Years back when I was a kid. They'd hit our place, and neighbors and have a big party after. Giant tubs full of royally pissed off snakes will certainly get your attention.
December 23, 20205 yr Ok. What kind of monster is this little guy gonna grow up to be. He's about 8 inches long. Need to know if I should torch my backyard and sell my house. Thanks Edited December 23, 20205 yr by Post Oak
December 26, 20204 yr Was behind my garage this morning moving stuff around and found these two guys waiting out the cold weather. Didn’t disturb them - hopefully the sun comes up and they get warm enough to move somewhere else later today.

January 10, 20214 yr Today I heard the stupidest shit I’ve heard in a good year or so. Thank God not my wife, but a wife at the zoo today, talking to her kid while we visited the herpetarium: ”Snakes don’t have bones. They have exoskeletons, their skin is like their bones. They have to shed it when it gets too rigid.” Very, very hard not to go over and tell the kid not to listen to his mom, ever.
January 11, 20214 yr Home schooled, no doubt. Hard to imagine what other bullshit she is teaching them if she can fuck up something that easy.

I was at the Ft Worth zoo a few years back and this woman was loudly and confidently telling people the plural of fox was fox. I was laughing for a while.

February 23, 20214 yr If she’s a milf, you could play into it with “foxy”, and pick her up. Then remind the boy you’re bangin his mom.
March 21, 20214 yr i'm pretty sure i was wrong to call this a "Texas" Rough Earth Snake, but i still enjoyed saving him. https://www.instagram.com/p/CMp3obSnafO/?igshid=15rghxq1jfaui also my mom continues to be hilarious. she asked me what i wanted to name him, and I, thinking of March Madness, said, "ima name him TJ." and she said, "Ibeh? Wee-Bey? Wee-Bey?!?!" (she loves The Wire. i recently posted an anecdote of her yelling out "got them yellow tops!" while i was trying to shoot baskets in the backyard). so once she got all excited about Wee-Bey i was pretty much on board with it, lol. also, god damn it, i am somehow still not used to IG not being able to embed.

March 23, 20214 yr Young copperhead? Has a short body like a moccasin but I feel like that's just cuz it's young. Could just be a young chicken/rat snake that has copperhead camo.

March 23, 20214 yr That's a really good example of a non-pit-viper flattening its head when threatened so it looks like a triangular pit viper head.
