Swimming towards you isn’t chasing or attacking. I’m gonna need to see some proof of these snakes chasing people. Just one video.

Any of you east Texas Nancy boys ever come across a timber rattler? Closest to me that I have heard of sightings of them já the woodlands.

There's a few just across the road from the TPW office on Texoma.

Since today is World Snek Day, I figured I'd post this pic I took a few years ago in Tanzania. Puff adder at work.

 

[miguelito 11061]

Even though it's an adder, he kind of looks like a minus sign.

Something about that doesn’t adder up.

[Homesickhorn 2194]

Of course. I hated seeing Ricky go out like that.

It wasn’t Ricky, it was the Irish ginger.

Also, that guy in the video mentioned that they dive to escape predators. I’ve seen over a hundred cottonmouths in my life, chased them (with weaponry), and been chased by them on countless occasions. Never once, have I seen one dive. On land, I don’t think they’re going to come after you unprovoked, but in the water, they’re territorial as shit. Back to the video, he mentioned that the snake’s venom glands were full. Do you think this guy made that video with a snek that he’d maybe caught, and then had it de-fanged kind of like those cobra kissing dipshits do? I’ve just never seen one that docile, ever.

Not a snake-this time.  I went to the farm this past weekend, and this little feller has set up housekeeping in the overflow of the bathroom basin sink.  I tried to grab him with a hemostat, but he's too fast for me. And slippery.  The interwebs tell me that I can drive him out with hot water, but I don't want to hurt the little feller.  So, Imma just gonna plug the hole for like the next six months.  Maybe he'll go back to whence he came. 

[ernest_t_bass 1196]

Is that freg?

[bmbmd 1016]

Yep.  My sink is usually much cleaner.  Freg fucked it up.

Might take the trap out below him, put a bucket down there and turn on the water.  Freg in bucket.  Freg and bucket go outside.  Probably need lid for bucket.

Cool puff adder. Let's adder another puffer, this hognose my brother found in his yard near Cypress.  I wish I had gotten photos of it.  Hope I find one sooner than later.

Sister in law sent this today. Was in the street in front of their house in Cypress (the live along a creek and golf course). Texas Coral  

i have been out looking for Hognose snakes the last couple of days with no luck. Might try again tomorrow. Did see another rough green snake and a ribbon snake, but they are so damn fast.

That dude’s head isn’t that big. I’ve seen bigger.

[T’Boo Ted Marshall 2718]

Given the size of that snake in the pic, there is no way he would be able to hold it up with one arm on a stick like that and not also be straining.

For those who may have skimmed by the link, a couple of excerpts:

In 20 years of fishing the Upper Brazos River in Texas, Shane Davies of River Run Guide Service (214-418-9786) has earned a reputation for using unusual baits to catch big bass. But he topped himself on a recent outing, landing a 10-lb. largemouth with, of all things, a rattlesnake. Here's the story--with the pictures to prove it--of how Davies pulled off his unusual catch.

He grabbed the ¾ oz. Stanley weedless jig he'd been fishing and threaded the hook through the rattler's bottom lip and out the top of its head.

I wish I could take credit for this one, but Lt Colonel Homesickhorn sent this picture this morning from Kerrville, asking what kind of snek he was looking at.


I told him it was a hognose, and to figure out a way to catch the fucker and bring it to me in Lakeway (we’re at a family event here until Sunday.

Now, the little fucker is mine.

[TwiceHorn 30715]

Nice.  I've seen three small copperheads in the last couple of weeks mountain biking.  One of them being run over by the guy ahead of me.  Gave me a sad.

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

You lucky fucker. Nice western or plains hognose. I still haven’t found a eastern. Hoping next spring to find one.

So white. I know you so I know my assumption is correct

[Walte464 450]

Saw a corral slithering through my front lawn as i was cutting the grass, tried to stop the mower before it ran it over but failed. Rather have a chopped up corral than a live one any day.

I left out the fact that my dad said that there were actually three of them down by our mailbox. I told him to try and collect all three, but by the time he got back down there, there was only this guy. I figure that to probably mean that an adult female lives around my folks place, and these little guys are her hatchlings. He’s going to keep an eye out for more, and when I go back home in a couple of weeks, you can bet your ass I’m gonna be looking. He’s a cool little critter, and actually is young enough to not know that being handled isn’t par for the course for a wild snake. Little Homesick named him L.W., for Lakeway. But we’re calling him ‘Dubs’.

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

That’s bad ass. I read that westerns are easier to keep as pets than easterns because you can feed them other things besides toads.

Deadly, but day-um he's pretty.

[Homesickhorn 2194]

Nah man, he’s a diamondback water snek. Worst thing he does is sneak into your minnow bucket, then haul ass before you see him. Then, you begin think you’ve used more than you actually did, thus questioning your sobriety.
