Snakes in the wood pile!!!!!!!!!!!

[dingeryote]

Dang you guys have some impressive pics! I just saw this thread about a half hour after I saw the biggest garden snake I ever saw and took a pic of it with my camera.

Its nothing like what is already posted but I thought it was remarkable and my KOI pond right next door is full of decent sized snakes but this guy is huge for a garden snake hes about 4 feet long and probably 2 inchs around.

That garter snake is HEALTHY!!
Give it free reign and ya wont have too many bugs and mice to worry over LOL!!

I get 'em half that size into the harvester, and out into the crews berry lugs.
LOL!! Sometimes the shrieks are hillarious!

I wish I had more of 'em!

Stay safe!

Yeah I definately am glad they are around this big ole snake was at a junky trailer house next door where I have my garden now and there is or was plenty of mice!

The people (before I bought it to get rid of them) had race horses here and feed was spilled everywhere mice were crawling all over the place.

The frogs in my KOI pond are nearly extinct now the snakes keep them thinned out pretty good its cool to watch a snake track and eat a frog in the water and among the plants they are fabulous hunters snakes are.

I actually took the pics with my phone instead of a camera like I said I get dumber when its so hot out I cant hardly think straight hehehe.

What kind of snake is it.

Here's a pic of my son (then 11) with his pet Black Mamba. I hear they make great pets!

They are one of the most poisenous snakes in the world. I never seen one though.

Yup. A neighbor of mine got bit in the hand my a Water Moccasin (flower garden I believe) not to long ago. She was in the hospital for a few days...doing fine now last I heard.

Here 'tis

Two weeks after the bite..

You didn't suck the poison out?

 

[jjett84724]

Holy crap that thing looks like it's painful. My buddy and I were checking out a Jasper field by the house and saw a large rattlesnake. That thing came after us. Talk about aggresive. A couple of rocks sent him on his way. Be careful guys.

Good, 'cause you still haven't: That's a standard issue Alabama Grey Rat Snake, very docile after holding it about 2 minutes.

Also, snakes are not poisonous, their venomous, but point taken.

According to the trauma doc at the hospital, it doesn't work.....venom moves in the bloodstream quickly. She was in the hospital 3 days, couldn't walk/work for 2 mos.

LOL, Told you i never seen one, Except on tv a couple of times. Glad you cleared that up cause i was wondering why you would have a young kid handle one of the most VENOMOUS snakes there is.

Found this guy just a few minutes ago in my wood pile.

I rolled over a round of wood in the yard yesterday evening and found this:

There was another smaller, kinda rainbow colored, shiny lizard at the same spot that ran for cover when I rolled the round. I had been seeing the 'rainbow colored' lizard around the yard the last few days. I'm wondering if it was the male and the one in the picture was the female protecting the eggs.
I got a shovel, dug under 'mom' and the eggs, and moved them near to a rotted wood round in the right-of-way beside my driveway.

That is just so cool! I hope they do well in your yard, any idea as to what it is?
