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?

The head looks like an arrow so it could be poisonous, its the wrong head for a harmless black racer.

What area of the country do you live?
I’ve always been told that cottonmouths are not found much above the fall line.

Knowing what region of the country, or the world for that matter, would help a great deal. :)

Based on your last photo that would be a dead snake.

It could possibly be Zero, Reid, Pelosi, Durbin, or Murtha. Though your last pic indicates it probably is not or the L/MSM would be lamenting endlessly at this point.

Do you mean to tell me you used mean, nasty assault shovel on that poor innocent-looking snake, who is, after all, only one of God’s creatures trying to make his way in a world overrun by we terrible humans?
Shame, SHAME, on you!

A snake that looks just like that got rid of my mole problem.
I hope he sticks around.
