We killed it. I'm no snake expert but it resembles a copperhead to much for me to want to chance it, I do know that much.

I'm pretty sure copperheads have slit eyes and a more triangular head, but that looks very close. Wonder what it is. I'd have took a shovel to the damn thing, or a 12 gauge would do the trick if you don't want to get close to it.

Texas Rat snake. http://www.texassnakes.net/JuvTXrat_lg.jpg edited because I forgot the picture. Non venomous. Worked at a parts house and opened a shock absorber box and one of them was wrapped around the shock. The box had been on the shelf a long time, the poo on the floor was a bit more recent.

The snake was only doing some free pest control.
I hardly ever kill snakes unless other people may get bitten, such as a high traffic workplace.

Sad, the people always kill snakes when they find them. They are very beneficial. Plus, Rat snakes eat mostly rodents. They follow the food. A Copperhead eyes have a vertical slit in them, as well as Rattlers. The eyes on the SWFA snake has round eyes, as all non venomous snakes in our country have http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/resources/jp_myers/Copperhead.jpg/view_large.html I keep snakes as pets, and have given several seminars on them in schools when my kid's teachers invited me in to do so. That is how I got my nickname; Snakeman Today, my children are grown, and have their own kid's. And, I still have a couple still alive. My Corn Snake; Saphira in 2005 |

I think a lot of us are raised with the see a snake kill a snake mentallity. I know there are good snakes, king snakes particular. My problem is with like a black snake or rat snake, I don't have the time or care to study at them long enough to tell them apart from a mocasion or a copperhead, so they die. The only snakes i let live are the king snakes but I haven't seen one of them in years! |

Plus I know some will find this shocking but Copperheads also have copper colored heads.
Anytime anyone finds a snake they always want it to be venomous for some reason, I guess it adds some excitement to the event. They always say things like this, "But look it has a triangular shaped head? If yellow touches black it could kill Jack....no no wait if yellow touches black its a friend of Jack.....to hell with it just kill it." Edited by Chris Farris - August/26/2010 at 10:56 |
