I found this little baby on my back patio this morning drying out and warming up from a rain last night....Can you name this Snake?

 

[XL-entLady]

Ooh-h. So many choices! No rattles, so it could be a rat snake or a bull snake or a diamond water snake or a hog-nose .... And those are just the ones I know about. It's probably something else entirely.

 

[Buster]

None that you mentioned Lady..HINT:..these beautiful creatures are prized for aquarium displays.

Ghost Corn Snake?

 

[burrocrat]

well i can promise you if i found that on my patio, after grabbing my shovel and practicing a little long division, the only thing you could call that one would be:

a dead snake!

(my favorite kind).

 

[burrocrat]

that just creeps me out, and i don't care how small or non-poisonous it is (judging from the close-up background).

i don't get a lot of exercise or raise my voice much, but you can be sure, when i come across one of those, i'm gonna run like hell and scream like a little girl, (no offense to hell or little girls).

oh yeah i've heard all the arguements, some are good for keeping rodent populations down, you want them in your garden, part of the natural cycle, etc. that don't hold water with me, only good snake is a dead snake.

i don't fear much, but snakes are my kryptonite.

Too funny. This little girl loves snakes. And my female ex-boss had a snake in her office. :nuts:

 

[burrocrat]

yeah, i used to play with them as a kid, hear the rattle - be aware, no problems, but then something happened.

visiting her parents house with my girlfriend, they even let us sleep together, but in her sister's room, full of aquariums/terrariums, more snakes than you could count, slithering and rustling away all night, didn't get much rest, arms pulled in tight to my chest, eyes wide open, nothing happened that night.

smart parents. we split up shortly after that.

does that mean it is non-poisonous ? :worried:

I'd name him George. He looks like a George to me.

request to anyone posting in this thread, it is possible to repond to buster's query with posting the picture again, please, we all know what you're refering to, no need to see it again, can only bring myself to scroll back so far. thank you.

Lady: my boss keeps one in her office now for payback, someone had the bright idea of putting a stuffed armadillo under her desk one time, wasn't me and i didn't think it was cool, but i knew about it and didn't say anything. she about did a back flip out of her chair and almost went through the wall. not funny.

so a few days later after a warm spell, things snow and freeze up and she finds this little garter snake frozen next to her car, brings it in to work and hides it underneath some of my papers. when i came across it i involuntarily said some things that shouldn't be said in a federal office, fortunately no clients around, i'm glad i didn't need to run home for a change of clothes, but it was close. i had to rework the file, gather new signatures, everything, no way was them papers with thawed out snake juice hanging around my desk. gave me the heebie-jeebies for days.

now she keeps it in a drawer in her desk, i can't hardly go into her office without shuddering, when i help with some technology stuff i have to glance at the screen from a narrow angle, ain't no way i'm turning my back on that thing, even if it's dead.

Don't know. What area of the country do you live? Hope whatever happens in 63 days is something you are looking forward too.
