¡Snek!

If we take a machete to it, we can probably have tacos.

yes, I've seen girthy water snakes, but never a skinny cottonmouth.

Cottonmouths are nightmare fuel.

Thanks for not deep tining that snake whatever it is.

I don’t kill if I don’t plan on eating it or it’s a pest/threat. Since he didn’t bite me when he clearly had a chance, I figured I’d return the favor. 

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

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.

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.

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.

I wish I had a snek road.  Cottonmouth doesn't look very big.  Did it still have a yellow/green tail?

Whereabouts are you again? I forgot what you mentioned to me when we met at L&L.

Yeah, all those cottonmouths were pretty small.

Man we used to hit the roundup every year when we were hunting that way.  Sucks.

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.

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.

[WBT 20564]

That road's a pretty drive

Times are really tough, I guess. I don't see how you guys do it.

 

I'm concerned that he had his wife(in flip flops) and young daughter in that vicinity. Fuck the cat, though.

Near as I can tell, that dude is in Souf Cackalacky.  He has no accent.  But is missing a tooth.

Lmao, he's kind of entertaining though.

[Steel Shank 9423]

Friends saw a snake disappear under a kitchen cabinet. It reappeared about a week later.

[NorthLoop 14195]

that's what happens when a rat snek doesn't eat for a week. Skinny rat snek. 

[Hammerin Hank 1227]

What the fuck is this and do I need to kill it?

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

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.

[TwiceHorn 31452]

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.

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.

That’s where I am.

[Hammerin Hank 1227]

I’ll try to get a better pic if he comes back out 

[texasdago 7573]

Hank, that snake is totally harmless...

 

so long as you're awake.

[Hammerin Hank 1227]

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

They 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.

[Homesickhorn 2202]

Found it.

[thunderlounge 7818]

Was that one of them up under the dock?

[Homesickhorn 2202]

Correct.

[thunderlounge 7818]

Nice. I remember that find. Was a nice one. 

[Hammerin Hank 1227]

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.

[Hammerin Hank 1227]

Yes I’m in Austin and would rather him not be killed unless he’s dangerous. Will send dm. 

[Lerka Lerka 1086]

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. 

[Hammerin Hank 1227]

Here’s a better look at his head 

[South Austin 52480]

I’d pet him just to be sure.

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

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.

[TwiceHorn 31452]

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.

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?
