Gaboon

Eastern Rat Snake

There are 4 venomous snakes in Texas.

Copper Head- This is visibly not copper
Rattlesnake - no rattle
Coral snake - no way
Cotton Mouth Moccasin - nope..not even close

People need to educate themselves and stop killing harmless snakes

Yes but I will say this, I've seen a rat snake form a vipers head and strike at a stick when I was removing it from inside a building. They can be very aggressive when provoked causing some people to believe they are dangerous.

I know it’s a rat snake. Pretty sure it’s a western rat snake. I’ve had one living around the house for years. If he’s here then there’s something to eat.

My SO and her dogs live here. Yes, I know there are some snakes that are not venomous or dangerous. This one had a pointed head and we both almost stepped on it. Within 6 feet of the last one(rattler) a few weeks back. So, he met his demise. I will continue to learn to recognize species.

The best kind a dead one

Keep up the good work sir.

Don't beat yourself up about it. It was a snake and not like it is doomed to extinction. I've killed many since I was a kid and today they are still here. If it runs away when I see it, I let it go. If it is in my yard, coils up and rares back like it will strike me, it will meet Mr. Hoe.

I like the dead ones..no need to identify further.

I likely wouldn’t have killed it but I don’t have a problem with it

Call an exterminator. He wasn’t hanging out at your crib for the dope tv.

Just a harmless ratsnake trying to keep your yard free of vermin. One of the better ones to keep around.

Could you please post a few pics of Mrs. Hoe ?

Your property. Do as you see fit. I just don’t fall into the only dead snakes are good snakes. God knew what he was doing when he designed this place.

Kill first, ask questions later.

Sure.

This reminds me of Ernest Paty - Crappie mentor to a whole lot of folks on the TFF and even a few on here in the OT.
When someone said something about what kind of snake it was....
“What do you mean what kind of a snake!?? It was a SNAKE!!

It's a
It's an estrogen thang y'all

+1, I hate it when the neighbors kill good snakes. Learn to identify them and let the good ones go. Some of them even eat the bad ones.
