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

If he was minding his own business, why did he keep getting in snek’s way

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

Bumped into this dude today.  Only my second hognose, nice colorful juvenile.

Hey, Swayze ... negged cuz no Big Red.

Seriously, nice find. They are so oddly proportioned, like a caricature of a snake drawn by a child.

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

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.

Holy shit. Two Texas snakes I have yet to come across. I need to fix that pronto. Western Diamondback and Gopher.

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!
