Yeah, the coloring is what made me second guess for a minute (even seeing the head shape).DatTallArchitect said:

That's a tiny gaboon viper! That coloration always looks so pretty but reminds me of the gaboon… which I learned about on this thread a year or two ago

Brazos county today. Be happy to give permission if anyone wants to poke around an old home site on the navasota.

Don't like that at all. Figured it was still too cold for them to be out. Guess i need to get the snake boots back out!

I've been following this thread long enough that I should know … but I'm thinking this is a DBWS?

I thought there was too much pattern and color to be a a cotton mouth. I'll take three steps back.

No personal experience, thankfully, but have heard tales of them dropping from over hanging trees into canoes on Oyster Creek...

Perfect placement of the small rock where his head shadow is. Makes his shadow have eyes too.

Watching @RobertKennedyJr catch a rattlesnake with his bare hands is the most amazing thing on the internet. #Kennedy24 pic.twitter.com/xROBJrhumg

Is it just me or does that video play backwards? Looks like he sets the snake down then charms it.

I know this one is not glamorous or unusual. Just long and I assume a granddaddy (or grandmomma). Any guess about it's age.

That's a pretty good size Rat Snake but I have no idea about age. That's probably a 12fmane or Badace question…
Since I'm not either, the standard response to any "how old is it" question on the OB is 3.5

Water appears fairly clear. Most don't show as much distinction because they are found in muddier environments.

I enjoy the thread. But not yet a graduate, but I'm getting there.Double Twin Marine said:
Love these threads. I still struggle identifying some snakes but at least I've graduated from the "only good snake is a dead snake" mentality.

Family and I are heading to Costa Rica next month, doing several rainforest excursions, including a night time one. Hoping to spot some cool snakes. Last time I was there was over 20 years ago, and I saw a Fer De Lance, so I'm hoping for some cool pics to share on this thread.

Man, lotsa rattlers out that way. We dug up an old buried peanut irrigation line (6") out there and must have dumped out 50-60 rattlers over a 2 week period.STB 85 said:
