What's the legal damage for using a CHL weapon to dispatch a snake within the city limits of Austin?
could you tell the judge you were trying to protect hot babes and their dogs and cats?

My wife is 100 per cent sure it is a cottonmouth, and according to her she has never been wrong.

Vertical bars on the lower jaw say it's not a cottonmouth. Cottonmouth has horizontal black line. Also appears to have round pupils, so I'm going with non-venomous water snake.

All nonvenemous snakes are welcome at my house.

Your going to need to cut its head off and then immediately grab the head and hold it on your palm while taking a picture. I would definitely be able to give you the correct answer then.

The obvious thing you can see from the photo is a thick body shrinking to a tiny tail. If we could see the head, we could better identify. That IS the snake's head and not its tail.
