This afternoon I happened to look out the back and saw something
black and long in the middle of the yard. I just mowed yesterday
so I knew the yard was free of sticks and such.
Turns out it was a big black snake!
He isn't a rattler, does not look loke a water moccasin or a black snake.
What the heck kind of snake is he? He has the triangular head which
means he is a bad one, but I can't place his breed.
Anyway, photography being as dangerous as it is, he got wrecked up some
which is just as well. He might have bitten one of the animals.
So who knows any herpetology?

They are very aggressive when cornered, see my post above.

Yes it stank, and his wife refused to get on the dock until he poured bleach on the walkway.

Yes, they have a nasty disposition, especially when you get too close to their nest / dens.

Stay safe, and especially stay away from the snakes. No problem. I despise snakes. I have that primal fear...LOL

I'd throw him over the fence but snakes are pretty foul when the go bad. When "the" go bad?

Kind of hard to see but these guys come by most evenings and mornings.
I had seven of them come through here yesterday morning.
