Hey DuckButter what is this
 

Rattle snake

Diamond back water snake???

Who has who in the pic. Is the snake stuck on the top fin??

I done seen some big watersnakes, but that mammajamma is HUGE!!!

Got from a girl on facebook...not sure of the species

where the hell is DB...i guess if this was a coastal errosion issue or a columbia shirt thread he'd be all in......:rotfl:

there you are i see you...

Yes, diamond-backed watersnake, they eat fishy fishies primarily. They bite too, and stink when you grab them:rotfl:

That has got to be one of the biggest mother lovin diamondback water snakes i've ever seen! That's down right freaky!

:rotfl: It just grabbed the fish and will be turning it to get it down its throat, I got some pics of one somewhere doing that same thing. They have a preference for catfish

lmao, Sulphite creepin. :rotfl: :rotfl: :shaking:

HA!! I spotted him looking out my white van with no windows in back...lol!!

oh and thank you DB!! lol!

there was talk of this being a Python on facebook, looked to be a watersnake but i needed some confirmation...this was taken north of sulphur.

Definite DB waternsake, will probably go viral as a python though:grinpimp:

A Portie' town snake!!! Probably been hanging around the meth labs on Houston River....

Saw one similar in size swimming on Lacassine Bayou a couple years back. Biggest fricken snake I ever seen in the wild! How big do they get DB?

BIG! No seriously, the females get really big. There are some in the museum at UL Monroe that don't even look real. Probably close to 5 feet but the girth is what is impressive. There is a beast of one at Lake Martin if you go past the boat ramp and head down to the first gate, there is a pile of rocks with a pipe on the lake side and she hangs out on those rocks.
Yellow-bellied watersnakes can get pretty big too, the other watersnakes are generally not as big.

Caught a yellow-bellied ws out of my parents flowerbed a few weekends back. That sucker was probably 3 foot long. Mom was freaking out. I went Crocodile Hunter on it for a bit. "Calm down little fella, I'm not gonna hurt ya." My parents thought I was crazy. Apparently the snake didn't care for that sweet talk either, but I won that fight. Guess my friends have been calling me croc hunter too long. :cool:

I bet your hands smelled bad after that one:grinpimp:

Probably caught next to Nate's "11lb" frog!:rotfl:

Yes, my hand did in fact stink after catching that monster.

I was crawfishing one time and watched a huge diamondback water snake go in a trap that just ran and steel the bait (cut fish) out of the trap and swim to the levee and eat it. That sucker was big!!

Correct.........and that is just an average size. I saw one once that was swimming with a 2 lb catfish in it's mouth. Snake must have been 6.5+ feet long.

We had the same kind yesterday. Two trying to eat one fish. And a third smaller one which I guest was a male.Attachment 50161Attachment 50162Attachment 50163

Yup!

Got more than one that big or bigger swimming around in the LSU lake system.
