See if this video I took of him this morning in southern New Mexico works better. He is moving behind the cabin next door after hanging out at mine for too long. Anybody have any idea of what kind of snake he is? http://www.youtube.com/v/ygMLf-3ErM0

DawgMichelle Hall of Famer Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 9,955 SW Ohio	They are related...they say Bullsnake aka Gopher snake. I like some of the Gopher snake pictures I'm seeing as a match. Lighter head...really freaking long...markings. Did you say you got a good head shot? #gmstrong #gmlapdance

A bull or goher snake has what appears to be a stripe running the length of it's body just under the markings on it's back while the rat snake lacks the stripe and just continues with similar marking. If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. GM Strong

Looks like the rat snake has a more triangular shaped head. Thoughts? I can't get a picture to link to the thread, I'll try as an attachment...

As far as I am concerned they are all poisonous. Yeah, I know, most snakes are good just as most spiders are good. Call me a bad man if you want, but I smash all spiders I see with a shoe and cut all snakes I see in half with a shovel. Sorry, it's just the way I roll.

I am sure it would hurt, but not nearly as bad as the heart attack I would have watching the thing strike me. That's why I kill them.

Spiders I try and catch with something and let em go outside since they eat other bugs. Those thousand leggers though? They get the shoe, or in the case of a few days ago in the locker room, the bottom of a stick.

If I lived where they were more common, I might feel differently. Seriously, they terrify me. I know snakes are good. Oddly enough, as a youngster, I used to search them out, pick them up, hold them, etc. (granted - they were garder/garter/gardner/ect snakes) Today? I don't care what kind of snake it is - if I see one and it's not fleeing from me, I guarantee I'm fleeing from it. Kinda like heights. Used to!be I could climb up 30 or even 40 feet and not think twice about it. Now? Being on the roof of a ranch style house is pushing it. Climbing a tree for deer hunting I can go 15 feet - tops. Generally I sit a bit lower than that.
