I heard that

One thing to remember, there are only two kinds of snakes on earth. If it has rattlers it is a rattle snake, if it doesn't, it's a cobra.

Spyder, Are you from Orangewalk?

JZB, so there's two of us that claim to have seen one. You describe it very similarly to what we saw. I get half the naming rights as well. Let's come to conclusions on the final name.....but you can keep them in your yard as pets, I'll just be the silent naming partner. If they turn out to be a friendly snake, let me know!

So, as of yet, it doesn't look as though anyone can ID it? It didn't have any markings on the head which seems to rule out the Black Tail Indigo. Hopefully someone will have some info.

I have a snake in my yard that I would describe as JZB did above. I'll go look for it over the weekend and take a photo. I figured he would eat any stray mice etc. that might be around. I won't be trying to make friends with it til we know what it is. Last time I looked it was about 5 ft or so in lengh.

Hey, no snakes south of the bridge! Carry it up to Coco Loco...Linda will enjoy it.
