that C-head hasn't missed a meal
Are you the snake whisperer?? How'd you get it to lay still?
That's a big copperhead
Lots of snakes out but too dark to get pictures of most, also lots of toads, frogs, and lizards. Got a decent picture of one snake in an area with lots of water snakes but not sure after looking at it again from another angle
Might be a hog nose

Pretty sure it is.
That was my thought when I saw the neck and nose.SoulSlaveAG2005 said:

Okay I'm not crazy then, I have seen hundreds of snakes in my life but this is my first hognose!
Just tell everyone it's a texas cobra. That usually calms them down.
Eastern Hognose.
I know a lot about a little, and a little about a lot.
If anyone knows hognoses, it's you! He was probably chasing those toads
I'm not much of a snake guy at all but we went to Costa Rica last month a mind I was fascinated by the few we saw. We saw a small eyelash viper while out on a walk that was stunning. My son got a pic that I'll add later.
We also nearly ran over a big ass snake one night near the coast. I thought it was some kind of constrictor at first but now I'm thinking it was a Fer-de-Lance. Glad we didn't get closer for a better pic.

Pretty sure that's a boa. Glare makes it a little harder (for me) to identify, but I'm pretty sure it's a red-tailed boa.
Oh! Well, I thought it was some kind of constrictor when it first crossed our path, but then I saw a picture of a Fer de Lance later on and I thought the pattern matched and I don't know crap about snakes so I had no clue. It was big so I guess that's why my first thought was constrictor.
I feel better now because I had told my wife to get closer for a better picture. I was driving and opened my door to keep the car behind me from zipping around me and running it over.
That's a screenshot from a video my wife took. Video might give you a better idea.

Yep, boa. Super cool.
Awesome trip! Looking forward to the viper pic.

My 13yo decided to wake up so I had him send me these.
This guy was beautiful, but pretty small. We were probably about 10 yards away from him and this was taken through a vortex spotting scope with an iPhone.
Headed to Costa Rica in a couple weeks…I hope I see zero snakes there…although I am going with a guy that breeds snakes, so we'll probably be fine. He'll probably see them first
Just to add to the post. From CR last year…
Ahh, Costa Rica...eAGer said:

where you want your friends close, and your snake breeder friends closer......
Your first snake is a pretty lethal one!
I might need to hit you guys up for trip advice to CR. My mom wants to take us on a trip there next year over Spring Break and am not going to fight that at all.

It's awesome. I studied abroad there and took the kids there on vacation last year. Saw a fer de lance in college and a tiny viper last year. Lots of great places to visit so you have to strategize and prioritize based on types of experiences you want and total trip time.
So that is a fer-de-lance?

How long do you want to ignore this user?
I suck at snake identification.
Seen today at Buffalo Lake NWR

I think it is a bull snake! I thought it was a gopher snake at first, but looking at Google I think it is a bull. He was very handsome and sunning himself on the road when we came by. He headed for the grass when I took his picture.
He and the horned toad were worth the $2 price of admission!

I think the last time I saw a horned toad was in the 80s, and it was also in the panhandle.
Username kinda checks out

Red imported fire ants haven't made it to the panhandle, so people are less vigorous about spreading ant bait that also kills harvester ants up there. Without the harvester ants, there are no horned toads.Burdizzo said:

Aren't the gopher snake and bull snake the same species, just called different things depending on where you are?Emotional Support Cobra said:
