Need a little help on this one. Was down at a ranch in Zapata County with a buddy and ran across this little guy.
Thoughts?

Looks like a Texas Long Nosed Snake.

Google agrees.
I've never seen or heard of that one. Pretty cool.
Yessir! I've never seen one. He was BIG mad too. Rattling his little tail off and striking for dear life as we moved him to safety.
Came across this one elsewhere, but in the finest tradition of Sunchaser…How many?
I see 4
I see 4 so there must be 8.
Pretty sure 4 is the correct answer.
It took me a while to see the 4th one!
The vertical one was my 4th, and elusive
I got bit 6 times before I finally found the 4th.
I count 4 as well, but have this nagging feeling I'm overlooking a 5th one.
Snake guy I know from TPWD thinks he is seeing the head of one in the leaves in the bottom left. I could convince myself there might be one under those leaves if I squint hard enough. His comment was "That is the one that will bite you while you are looking at the others."
Found 4 pretty quickly and if there are anymore, especially in the leaves, it would get me.
Saw one with a rattlesnake the other day, I'd be dead.

my eyes aren't what they used to be, but im not seeing a 5th copperhead. now if you told me gaboon viper...
I'm dead. Couldn't find but two. Anybody got any anti-venom?
So what's the deal with copperheads? What is their temperament? I remember watching a show a long time ago where a guy was using a fake leg to "stand" on one and the snake just sat there and finally went away.
But then seeing that video a few years back where the one got the girl in Houston.

One of our dogs stepped on one and got bit. Snake didn't like getting stepped on.

Most of the once's I've dealt with were mostly laid back and chill. If they are surprised, they are a bit more grumpy. But, for the most part, they are chill.
I know a lot about a little, and a little about a lot.

Ask MouthBQ98 or whatever his name is. He has a ton on his property. We have a decent amount on our property and did in a lot next to us growing up, as mentioned they are mostly tame until they get startled
Rat snake (I think?) at memorial park today. Immediately thought it was a PBWS but the head shape and color pattern on the back has me thinking otherwise.
Not about snakes but good news from one of our posters that has helped me like snakes.
Found their daughter safe in the hill country.

Not proud to have to do it, but when my small dog finds it right beside the house, im not leaving things to chance.
Wrong thread but holy **** that picture kills me. Have 7 and 8 year old boys and can't imagine the chaos/fear. Way more than if I almost stepped on a copperhead! Great news BadAce.HoldMyBeer said:

Man it was just so intense. I'm not a super emotional guy but I've probably done a decades worth of crying for me in the last two days .
Hazel came out today with wanting a corn snake as a pet. Her mom is having trouble saying no this time. We are both having trouble telling her no at all these past two days.

Another water snake and had a skink friend moving around the house yesterday.
This guy stopped by today.
Looks like a DBWS to me
PBWS/YBWS
Well, apparently this poor fella (YBS?) got into a serious territory dispute with our dog and lost...
Maybe… a lot of red/yellow on the head would make me think it's a Broad Band Water Snake but not entirely sure. Have anymore pics?
Unfortunately it must have been a serious argument, cause Rocko didn't leave much else...but a lot of stink..
From the little bits of mid section left, it looked pretty yellowish to me...

I thought about more pics, but it was pretty much gone & I was under strict orders from the Mrs to get that smell out of the yard....
So it's now feeding fish & crabs in the creek out back
