October 19, 20232 yr Who in THE FUCK thought it was good idea to cross those two????Nobody. It didn’t happen. Dipshits claim to crossbreed venomous sneks, and it’s complete bullshit.
October 19, 20232 yr Author According to the intertrons, they can, and have mated in captivity. The first search result was from National Geographic that has a video of a cotton and copper in a mating duel.
October 19, 20232 yr They are of the same genus (Agkistrodon), and young cottonmouths have a similar "leaf" pattern on their bodies that eventually gets washed out as the animal matures and its scales darken. Personally, they are about as cool-looking as snakes get, but I prefer to admire them from afar.

There's another Agkistrodon in Mexico called a Cantil that doesn't look much like either one and a fairly broad variation among subspeciies. Check em out.

October 21, 20232 yr Friend from HS posted these on FB. She lives in Fort Worth. Yes, apparently that is her mailbox. Apparently her husband is now in charge of mail retrieval. No word on snek's current health status.
October 21, 20232 yr They are all (potentially) bitey. That one is not poisonous. I still wouldn't want him camping out in the back of my mailbox. Edited October 21, 20232 yr by SurlyGator
October 21, 20232 yr IMG_8814.mov This fella was out for a slither. He was moving slow so I think he had just finished lunch. Saw him crossing the two track from 300 yards away. I drew up slow to keep the vibrations down while I was out delivering water to the protein pens. Drove up in him when he cleared out of the way. He never once hit the accelerator as he eased into the brush.

October 22, 20232 yr There was some gear from a recent camping trip stowed neatly on the front porch. Don't do that. Sound up. Edited October 22, 20232 yr by bmbmd

November 6, 20232 yr saw this black mamba while bike riding in Denver today! actually saw three of them... so tiny. they are definitely enjoying sunning on these still warm days. managed to pick up one... who proceeded to pee all over me 😝😁
November 11, 20232 yr Ran across this rattlesneklet while changing feeder timers. Patted him on the head and let him be. He wasn’t looking for a fight.

November 11, 20232 yr Spoiler to ending of a really great old movie with Kirk Douglas and Henry Fonda.
November 19, 20232 yr I’ve never seen one of these rare San Francisco garter snakes. So damn beautiful.
December 23, 20232 yr My cat just found this snek and brought it in the house here in NE Texas. Some kind of non-venomous brown snek.
December 23, 20232 yr Help - My son left his rat snake upstairs for about thirty minutes and now he’s vanished. It’s been about two weeks. I’ve looked everywhere. Even our cat can’t find her. Any advice?

He screamed like a little girl, came and woke me up. Grab snek, put snek back in his home, went back to bed. Asked him why he was so scared since the snek is out a lot and on her or my shoulders. He says dude I am a Canadian. What would you do if you saw a moose? Laughed my ass off the whole time.

Just hope he didn’t get to the back of a fridge or into the ventilation somehow.

There is a fridge up there, which I removed and checked and didn’t find him.

I mean, two weeks later? Honestly, he could be anywhere. And as I’m sure you know, rat sneks are excellent climbers, so that expands the options even further. Check light fixtures (fluorescent coverings, for example) and such too.
December 24, 20232 yr Just get a mongoose. Wife (knows sneks) asked if their is a water heater on that floor. Cabinets, bathroom, etc....
