May 1, 20223 yr Author Went out to Snek Rd. tonight. Nothing for the hour leading up to sunset, then boom, snek time. Within 15 minutes, 3 cottonmouths, 1 nerodia, and 1 plains ratsnake that I lost in the tall grass before I got a shot.

Since he didn’t bite me when he clearly had a chance, I figured I’d return the favor. Congrats on finding the one snake in Braz that’s not a water moccasin. When my folks bought their place down there, one of the pastures was overgrown and under about 8” of water. Really shitty drainage we later fixed. Anyhow, I lost count of how many moccasins I shredded when I was mowing that swamp for the first time. Some of those thicc fuckers would knock the pto rpm down for a second. They were just everywhere, unavoidable if you wanted to save them.
May 3, 20223 yr https://mustsharenews.com/king-cobra-monitor-lizard/This is right where I play golf. It’s why I don’t look for balls in the woods (jungle). Pro V1. Yeah fuck it. I’ll drop.

Did it still have a yellow/green tail?

May 4, 20223 yr Author North of Austin.Well, I can’t guarantee anything. But there is a road that is near Canyonlands called Cow Creek road. Looks like it could have potential.

I know that road. I'll have to check it out. What characteristics do you like about it? Remote, Hill Country, and nearby water source? Just pulled up iNaturalist and see that there are plenty of snakes marked on that road - several copperheads and a couple cottonmouths, too. Edited May 4, 20223 yr by Jerry Callo

Just pulled up iNaturalist and see that there are plenty of snakes marked on that road - several copperheads and a couple cottonmouths, too.Everything you listed. I would think after a rain at dusk would produce something. Ideally with air temp being above 72. I would think many species could be found there. But obviously it’s a lot of driving slow, back and forth. Sometimes I get nothing, other days double digits.

May 14, 20223 yr Friends saw a snake disappear under a kitchen cabinet. It reappeared about a week later.
May 16, 20223 yr Author Did you take that with an iPhone 3G from the other side of the room? Can’t see shit. But looking maybe like a watersnake. But they don’t usually do B&E.
May 16, 20223 yr Phone fell out of my pocket on an mtb ride. While looking for it, saw a five-lined skink. Not snek, but kinda cool nevertheless. Looked a bit like this fella. Some have bright blue tails, but not this one.
May 16, 20223 yr 36 minutes ago, Hammerin Hank said: What the fuck is this and do I need to kill it? Despite the bad quality picture I am confident it is a non-venomous water snake, likely a plain bellied water snake, from the body shape, color, eye position, head shape, and labial bars.

May 18, 20223 yr Thanks for the responses. I haven’t seen him since, but he was big. My neighbor found a 5 foot long skin in his yard that I assume he recently shedded
May 18, 20223 yr Thanks for the responses. I haven’t seen him since, but he was big. My neighbor found a 5 foot long skin in his yard that I assume he recently sheddedThey can get big, but 5 ft is a giant nerodia. Keep in mind their shedded skins stretch, so your boy might have given snek the benefit of the doubt. I’ll try and find the pic I took about three years ago of the one at the LBJ boat launch who had just eaten what looked like an NFL regulation size football.
May 19, 20223 yr Just saw my snek again and it is fucking big. Too big to be this close to my house. Couldn’t get a pic because I was trying to keep my dog away from him. I know where he’s hiding though
May 19, 20223 yr Author Just saw my snek again and it is fucking big. Too big to be this close to my house. Couldn’t get a pic because I was trying to keep my dog away from him. I know where he’s hiding though Are you in Austin? If you want to get it removed but not killed, send me a DM. I know a guy that might be able to help in Austin if you are in Houston, I can come grab it. I’d you are in Dallas, well fuck you. I do t go to Oklahoma for anything.
May 19, 20223 yr Yes I’m in Austin and would rather him not be killed unless he’s dangerous. Will send dm.
May 19, 20223 yr If by dangerous you mean venomous, then you are ok. It does look like a plain bellied. Confirm it by checking for the dark vertical lines on its lower jaw.
May 19, 20223 yr Author Here’s a better look at his head Definitely looking like a plain bellied watersnake (non venomous). I reached out to a guy in Austin that might remove it for you. Will let you know when I hear back.
May 19, 20223 yr Been mountain biking pretty regular but have not seen the usual ration of snek this year. Just a nerodia, a racer of some type (I think, it was . . . racing away), and a rough? green. Not a single copperboi, although I have heard reports. That also includes ded snek, so that's nice. I guess the abrupt change from pretty cool and damp to hot af has kept them hidden. Edited May 19, 20223 yr by TwiceHorn
May 20, 20223 yr There’s 2 of em. I’m at the baseball game but my wife and the boy went home early. She just sent these pics. Is this snake porn?
