There is no such thing as a "poisonous" snake,there are venemous snakes,example-poison,if you drink it,it will kill you,if it gets on your skin it can soak through and kill you,Venom has to be injected into the bloodstream to be lethal.

That prairie kingsnake is a pretty animal. I just caught a yellow bellied watersnake last Saturday, first I've seen of one of those in a while. Pretty big one too, bout 2.5-3 feet.

Just killed a big cottonmouth at my front door. I guess this weather has them going crazy.

I don't think it's a pigmy. Thought that at first.

Incredible resemblance. I haven't had a whole lot of experience with rattlesnakes. More of a turtle, frog, and lizard guy myself.

It was a pigmy rattlesnake We were taking herpetology at the time and the professor was just shaking his head.

I am just a nerd with reptiles and amphibians just always had an interest


Pigmy and a juvenile timber
Man I'm the same way when it comes to reptiles and all that good stuff.
Take a look at the head of the Pygmy in your pic vs the one I'm holding. You might not be able to see it well but the head is almost all solid tan like this pic off the Internet. It also seem like the brown like breaks at each blotch on its back whereas the line looks more like it continues on this one. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1366384301.335743.jpg

Ever since I was a kid I'd bring home whatever kind of snake I could get my hands on. Luckily I never got bit but by a poisonous one but I've had a close call a time or two.

Yep, I was 25 before I saw a living timber rattlesnake. Seen plenty of dead ones though
