I couldn't shoot it again under the house. That little bastard bunkered in under the middle of my house. S then I tried to pepper spray it to make it come out but my spray was empty. I finally managed to get it out after soaking it with the water hose then I went babe Ruth on it with the shovel!
The end

That's funny right there , I don't care who you are .
Poor bastard didn't have a chance

Lucky that Lil bastard came out or we would hear sirens from the fire dept!!!!

He's one of the good guys. I don't understand why some peopple feel a need to kill every snake.

Rat snake would have had a rat in his mouth. No rat = rattle snake in my mind.

To me there are only 2 kinds of snakes, good and bad. See snake, kill snake, identify snake.
Look at belly once dead to identify.
Dual row of scales after the anal plate means they're harmless.
Single row of scales after anal plate means they're venomous.
Very easy to see. It's single all the way to anal plate then either stays the same or changes to two scales going across instead of one all the way across.

Chopped up chicken snake, same as rat snake. Caught some big one's before....they can really squeeze when they get wrapped up around your arm! Seen some up to 6 feet long. I don't mess with the poisonous kind. They always end up dead quick.

diamondback water snake

diamondback water snake, I get them in my wood duck boxes eating my eggs, of course it's their last meal if caught

[BigChaf]

You can tell by the head , it is a cotton mouth, check out the previous rat snake pic, the head is not the same. Just goes to show you why you kill it first then identify, would not want a poisonous snake going free around my house because I thought it was a rat snake.

[specktator]

Definitely not a cottonmouth. His head looks that way because he took a severe beating/shooting/shoveling.

[bjhooper82]

It's not a cottonmouth.

[elebouef]

When you see 1 rat snake there is usually another one somewhere not to far.

[YellowMouth7]

or chicken snake

Diamond back water snake. I'd post a picture but don't know how. Killed one on my back porch last year.

Texas rat snake.
