Backyard snakes
 

Our labs found these two last night and today. We live on 2 acres and have two wooded lots next to us so we see a fair amount of these guys.

Red yellow kill a fellow - not good

copper head

Looks like the only kind of snakes i like to see. Dead ones!!!!

Yep Coral snake and a Copperhead.

This was the first Coral I have killed, we have killed several Copperheads. Copperheads are all over North Houston in the burbs...

Damn. My dog's don't like em either. LOL

"If red touches black, you're okay Jack; if red touches yellow, you're a dead fellow.

Dang man, is there anything you can use to keep em out???

That coral is a deadly son of a bugger....That is scary right there, especially if you have kids or pets....

Get you a rat terrier. Those things give snakes hell!

That's what we have, and a lab too. The rat terrier is hell on snakes. The lab waits for her to kill it then she plays with it.

Maybe you could call

That is the first coral snake I have seen in about 15 years. Now, I won't sleep tonight!!! Ever seen a fat man scream like a little girl with herpes?

Snake killin machine!!!!!

Heard that they stopped making the vaccine for Coral Snakes.

Any truth to that?

X2 on the Copperheads. Killed 2 when I lived in Katy and 1 since I moved to Cypress.

:rotfl:

Found one in my yard yesterday. I found a powder I think it was called Snake Away that I used last summer after seeing a few around the house. Didn't see any after I spread it. I need to find some more I guess.

Found an all brown snake yesterday while mowing shaws yard..was a baby, wasn't a grass snake but didn't know what it was. Head was removed shortly there after

Sounds like one of dem babby coppaas....dey'll get ya too..

That's what I thought it was...its a dead snake now :)

sammich

Well that's awesome news
Thanks lol I gotta find me some of dat snake powder or santin sha

I'm pretty sure they got snake away at greengate, but can probably find it at any home store with a garden center.

I got some from Home Depot.

Only seen 2 living coral snakes in my life and they were about 5 minutes apart. My in-laws always kill a couple in their yards in Lincoln Parish and I can't get them to stop killing them completely but I have gotten them to not tear em up too bad when they do. I have a couple preserved in jars

Coral snakes are not vipers like all our other venomous snakes but elapids. They would literally have to find something small enough to fit their small mouths on and chew on it for a while to inject any venom and they are always trying to get away from capture (can not get one to stop for a picture), but either way I can see where people would kill them oh well

waiting for you to chime in...I understand just human nature to be scared of snakes...non poisonous do not bother me unless they catch me off guard...poisonous...well it depends on the situation as to what I'll do...

My two phobias are snakes and spiders...Specktator caught a ribbon snake the other day and tried to throw it at me and i ran screaming like a lil girl. When i think of snakes i think of the devil! Dont you put that evil on me ricky bobby!

I will break my neck trying to get away from a cockroach:rotfl:

Hate them sobs...

we had snakes in our yard for a long time, an ol man told me to put mothballs in some pantyhose and put them on a stake every ten yards or so, believe it or not, it worked. it does make it stink like mothballs though!

Just had 2 under our pond boat in the pond. A big cotton mouth and small watersnake

I know that's right!!!!

Walked up on a blue runner yesterday while cutting my tree line. Sucker went straight for my burn pile, needless to say, that pile no longer stands.

Baby copperheads look just like the adults...triangle markings when looking from the side or like and hour-glass from the top...also the young snakes commonly have a yellow tipped tail (same as mocassins). What he killed sounds like a louisiana brown snake...harmless.... It really gets me how so many coon asses are scared of snakes when the poisonous snakes native to the area are so easy to identify.

In north Texas we don't have normal brown snakes. I've never seen a copperhead baby. I just assumed. The grass snakes we have are green. If I know what snake it is, and its harmless, I'll leave it alone. If I don't know what it is, its dead.

KILL EM ALL

there is no such thing as a good snake i dont care what you say

moth balls do the same thing as that expensive snake powder.

XXXXX That's our new pet. Sophia named him "Kevin". LMAO

My wife was bit by a baby copperhead back in 2000. Only one dang hit got her and she was in the hospital for right at a week. They say the worst one to get bit by is the young ones cause of there venom being being more concentrated. Her ankle still bothers her.
