Let's more snakes today but most jetted to deeper water as soon as we got close. Also found some skinks while mowing

Rat or Hognose?

They were about 2 feet from each other, scattered when I was edging which is when I saw the red head

Looks like rat to me. Why would you consider hognose? PS: I've had lots of drinks.

Someone posted this pic in the thread and made me second guess my immediate ID of rat.

It's a rat snake... the whitish dot in the center of the dark blotches is a giveaway

So everyone is not playing where is Waldo the water snake (2 here) here is a blue heron as well

Both of those snakes were easier for me to find than the previous picture you posted. I am not sure I found one on the branches earlier.

Friend took a pic this morning at his place in Duval County. Breakfast of champions.

I'd rather it be eating a rattler, but still very cool to see.

Agree! We don't have many rattlesnakes but we have quite a few indigos. They earn their keep!

Guess what? More water snakes! A decent sized one that didn't hide very well. Saw 8 but only got decent pics of the 2

Think he was trying to figure a way up to a bird nest. We had a chat, he hid up under the engine of my DR trimmer for a bit somehow, and then he went on his way.

This and one of my collies had a sharp disagreement in my backyard: I think based on the keeled scales and pattern it is a water snake but can't see the head well in this pic from the wife..,
MouthBQ98
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Maybe a hognose?
ttha_aggie_09
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Maybe. I'd honestly lean hog nose based on the faint pattern I can make out beneath the blood. Not sure though…
ttha_aggie_09
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yeah, that's what I was thinking on first glance. Missed this post

It's not a hognose. Tail is wrong.

Male hognoses have longer tails, but not that long. And their tail from their vent is markedly skinnier than their body. Females have short tails.

That tail screams water snake.
I know a lot about a little, and a little about a lot.
