Discovered a nest of snakes burrowed under my house foundation. I want to say these are Eastern Yellow-Bellied Racers, several large and small. The cat has discovered them and has been trying to get them. The dogs haven't yet, but that's just a matter of time.

Any recommendations on permanent removal and sealing off the nest?

Thankfully didn't get the hound that was sniffing at him.

Cleaning up outside the ranch house for our dove hunts next week. Had an old Rtic soft cooler with a buster zipper on the back outdoor porch. Inside was a very aggressive smaller snake. Then found a second one with the weed eater. What kind of snake is this?

Not a snake, but this Black Witch moth paid me a visit this morning at dawn. Really cool, just appeared out of the dark like a ghost

Don't know what it is but that is an amazing photo. That is just so beautiful. Was that a cell phone camera?

It's a blurry ass cell phone pic?

Good ID on the western rat snake, though.

Been in North Carolina all week and first walk back home saw this. My wife spotted both before I did, the student has now become the teacher. Have a video of the one in the water but need to figure out how to post

Friend saw a timber and copperhead on their last visit but we didn't see anything at their place in the mountains of North Carolina. Saw a ton of these eastern fence lizards though

On of the smallest snakes I've ever come across. Thought it was a worm at first

**I did not kill these snakes.**

This picture was sent to me by a family member. He killed them outside his house in Eastern Bell County.

Very strange pattern. Has anyone ever seen anything like this? Some of the babies have the same pattern as momma. Others have normal patterns.

I thought this thread would find it interesting.

It's an aberrantly patterned diamondback and that person just killed a few hundred (potentially thousands) of dollars worth of snakes.

Got in a lovely argument on another forum I frequent yesterday on a cottonmouth ID. Although everyone will ID any brown/black/slithery snake as a cottonmouth, they instantly ID an actual cottonmouth as a water snake.

What makes them worth that kind of money? Who buys rattlesnakes?

Lots of weirdos are into aberrant snakes like albinos, melanistics, different patterns, etc.

I figured they were just evolving again due to hogs.

Lots of people who breed snakes. 20 years ago, there were unique morph reticulated pythons at a reptile expo I went to in Dallas - they were asking $80k each. Wild morphs are sought after.
I know a lot about a little, and a little about a lot.

I'd imagine those babies would have fetched $200/piece pretty easily.

This is one of three that I always struggle with, but I believe it's a prairie king snake. Can someone confirm?

If not, it's a great plains rat snake or glossy snake like I posted on the previous page.
