Almost stepped on this snek tonight.
Venomous or not? Head looks kind diamond shaped. Does he get relocated or dispatched?

Seem to be a lot of those out on the road. Must be a good year for them.

Confirmed pupils are round. Looks to be a Texas Rat Snake. He gets a reprieve.

Good ones to have around... Rat snakes help keep away rattle snakes.

This. Very young rat snake, most likely the ubiquitous Texas Rat, a/k/a "chicken" snake. Beneficial, non-venomous rat eating machines, though adults can be ornery. saw this which made me laugh So apparently one way to see if it's a rat snake or copperhead it to look at the bite marks and then see if it has fangs. That sounds like a great idea. Kinda like how to test if your electrical outlet is working by sticking a screwdriver into it.

It was easy to tell it was a rat snake because it was almost as long as the road was wide. So i let it pass. Most others get the e brake as i slide over them :) |

I moved a big Rat snake out of the road a couple days ago, it was not very happy.

I found a baby rat snake last spring. It was under a bucket that I picked up. It started rattling it's tail like a rattlesnake. Made me squeal like a lil girl.
It got relocated to the creek to continue it's good work. |
