Texas Rat Snake or common water snake. The long slender tail is an immediate clue it’s no cottonmouth. Cottonmouths are never over 5 feet and that’s a monster. They have a very stubby tail. I have killed a cottonmouth over 6’ long, on a lease between Cleveland and Dayton. And yes, I know what a cottonmouth is. It’s the one and only snake I hate.

Thats also a quail eating machine. TPWD says kill de rat snakes as they are bigtime predators if you are trying to help Bobwhites as we are.

If you're going to shoot'em, get him out of the boat.

"..The pleasantist angling is to see the fish
Cut with her golden oars the silver stream,
And greedily devour the treacherous bait.

That is a rat-eating machine, let ‘em go! Thats also a quail eating machine. TPWD says kill de rat snakes as they are bigtime predators if you are trying to help Bobwhites as we are. Rat snakes consume a large number of bird eggs and young birds in nests as well. I had one kill 8 adult Purple Martins last year and they were all too large for him to eat. So he would pick a different gourd and continue killing them.
