ID-ing Snakes In The Garden - Coral Snake
Comments (54)Marcia, Please help me find out what kind of snake I came across today. While I was at the local dog park (near Orlando) I came across a yellow with black stripes snake. It looked to be between 3.5-4 feet long and did not appear at first glance (that was all I gave it out of fear) to be shiny. I was about 3 feet from it and didn't know it until my dog almost stepped on it. She obviously didn't see it either. The snake seemed a pit peeved about the whole thing but it decided not to attack and to slowly slither towards ME to get away from my dog. Needless to say, I took off in a different direction real quick and hollered for my dog to follow. I am not like you or others on this site. I am not a fan of snakes and am extremely afraid of them. Although, I don't mind the black racers that seem to have taken up permanent residence in MY back yard and they love to procreate often (or so it seems). I have seen a lot less field rats since the racers moved in and that makes me very happy. Anyway, can you help me figure out what this snake was? I have spent hours and hours online tonight trying to find it and just can't seem to find anything that looks like it. I am guessing that it is not dangerous to me or my dogs??? I am scared to take my dogs back through those woods that they so dearly love. As soon as I told them, "No more woods until the snakes are gone again," they "told" me to find it if it was dangerous or not and if it isn't that they want to go back again. So that is mostly why I am asking you for your help. We all love the walks but I am afraid of the snakes. Please help me feel safer about going back. Thanks in advance for your help....See MoreSnake Road photos - snake id again please
Comments (6)Nice Pictures! I can answer your question. That black snake is a black rat snake. Was that midland water snake (subspecies of the northern water snake) found at LaRue Road. I have never found a midland water there before. In fact I don't think I know anyone who has seen one there either. I'm sure they have a good population there, but it surprises me that you saw one. They generally inhabit lakes, creeks and rivers. One doesn't usually see a midland or northern water snake in cypress swamp. I have seen them up north in oxbow lakes. I did see a midland water snake at Mingo swamp in a ditch, but that is far as my northern water snake experience goes. Nice find. Ryan...See MoreThis Years Red Milk Snake Photos
Comments (3)Thanks Chad, It was your collection of pics that got me wanting to photograph all the Milks I find. The 6th snake down was my favorite, I hardly ever find them that big with such good color, plus I really like the thick black bands. Mike...See MoreCan you repot the snake plant cuttings ?
Comments (6)You don't have to discard the leaves but that's what I would do, personally. I'm hoping as time goes on, more people will chime in with their opinions so you can make an informed decision. The twisting of the leaves is a natural growth habit so nothing to worry about. The crack could be from going a long time between waterings and then staying wet for a very long time, or it could be a stress fracture from bumping up against something. Either way it's nothing to worry about. If you keep this plant in the window just make sure the leaves don't touch the glass as that can cause leaf damage from too cold or too hot (depending on the season). It looks great and I hope you have continued success with it!...See More- 3 years ago
