Backyard snakes

[Matt G]

Found one in my yard yesterday. I found a powder I think it was called Snake Away that I used last summer after seeing a few around the house. Didn't see any after I spread it. I need to find some more I guess.

Copperheads are social. If you killed one, there is another one around. I've seen them search for their partner. This time of year there is probably a nest around. I got luck this year. A couple of Red tail hawks nested in the tree by my house. In the evenings I watch them come back with dead snakes. They caught a milk snake in our front yard yesterday. The squirrels are extremely skittish this year.

I'm pretty sure they got snake away at greengate, but can probably find it at any home store with a garden center.

Only seen 2 living coral snakes in my life and they were about 5 minutes apart. My in-laws always kill a couple in their yards in Lincoln Parish and I can't get them to stop killing them completely but I have gotten them to not tear em up too bad when they do. I have a couple preserved in jars

Coral snakes are not vipers like all our other venomous snakes but elapids. They would literally have to find something small enough to fit their small mouths on and chew on it for a while to inject any venom and they are always trying to get away from capture (can not get one to stop for a picture), but either way I can see where people would kill them oh well

we had snakes in our yard for a long time, an ol man told me to put mothballs in some pantyhose and put them on a stake every ten yards or so, believe it or not, it worked. it does make it stink like mothballs though!

[cmcnabb]

Just had 2 under our pond boat in the pond. A big cotton mouth and small watersnake

I know that's right!!!!

Walked up on a blue runner yesterday while cutting my tree line. Sucker went straight for my burn pile, needless to say, that pile no longer stands.

Baby copperheads look just like the adults...triangle markings when looking from the side or like and hour-glass from the top...also the young snakes commonly have a yellow tipped tail (same as mocassins). What he killed sounds like a louisiana brown snake...harmless.... It really gets me how so many coon asses are scared of snakes when the poisonous snakes native to the area are so easy to identify.

In north Texas we don't have normal brown snakes. I've never seen a copperhead baby. I just assumed. The grass snakes we have are green. If I know what snake it is, and its harmless, I'll leave it alone. If I don't know what it is, its dead.
