May 20, 20223 yr That indeed looks like snek pron. You can also sign up for the Central Texas Snake ID facebook page. The admins identify snakes and have people that can be contacted for relocation. It is a great site if you want to learn to identify snakes. Those two are plain-bellied water snakes as identified above. Not venomous, but will defensively strike and bite.

This is what happens when you leave Barry White playing on your external speakers. I'm beginning to think you're doing this on purpose.

May 20, 20223 yr Need to vent. Brother's Aussie in Helotes got bit last night by a rattler in the eyeball. She's going to make it but will lose the eye. No Country For Young Bitches
May 20, 20223 yr Holy fuck. How does one manage to get struck by a rattler in the eyeball?!? ETA: I somehow failed to understand he was talking about a dog rather than a human. Edited May 20, 20223 yr by SquishMitten

The question is why his wife was playing Barry White while he was at a baseball game . . . well, not so much of a question as an observation.

May 23, 20223 yr Author Went cruising for snakes this afternoon. Large ratsnake got away from me and saw what was likely a ribbon snake hauling ass across the road. Also a dead cottonmouth and this nerodia that was not keen on me getting closer. And this non-snek

May 23, 20223 yr I've seen that clip in a nature documentary on netflix, ironically. That whole island/land mass should be nuked pronto.

May 24, 20223 yr I just heard that Iguana entered the transfer portal. Someone better pick his ass up.

I actually blew by one on the trail Sunday pretty similar to that, with a bit more red in it, or on top of it, stretched out parallel to the trail. They sure can do the pit viper head.

May 31, 20223 yr Got a text from my neighbor Sunday morning, asking for advice on how to handle a big snake on his porch. I put on pants and walked on over. His whole family was a bit freaked, because it had been crawling up the front door when they got home from HEB.It had crawled down to the actual porch itself - pretty 3.5 foot rat snake.I told him they could just poke it with a stick to get it to move along - he says, umm, how?I take a stick, lift the snake gently, snake gets a bit pissed and rears up. I let him calm down, then move him along, he slithers around the side of the house.I remind the neighbor that’s a good snake, you want him around. If you ever need to clear him out, now you know how.It still kind of amazes me how some people have a visceral fear of all snakes, but it’s obviously some deep biological thing.

Spraying with a garden hose will move them along as well.

May 31, 20223 yr Lol do you also help him put on pants in the morning?Hess a really good dude (professional chef, amazing cook, good messican drinking buddy sitting on the curb sometimes), but he’s not exactly outdoorsy.
May 31, 20223 yr So our approach of killing all snakes, no matter their markings, with machetes/garden tools and then claiming they were copperheads is frowned upon?
June 2, 20223 yr Not snek, but close. My family's neighbor had a pond that needed these relocated. My nieces caught them and relocated them in a swamp behind my parents' house. Eight total relocated.
June 2, 20223 yr AL. They're in the bend of a major river, about three miles to the river in three directions. I grew up with alligators either coming from the river to raise young on our land or alligators walking through the yard to get to wherever they were going. When I was around twelve, we had a mama gator dig a hole in the swamp on our property to have her babies. My dad went and caught a couple for my sister and I to take to school. The mama would come up out of the hole hissing because my dad was disturbing the babies. The babies make a grunting sound to communicate with their mother. Kind of like an unt unt unt techno beat.
