Snake ID? (photo, snake is unharmed)
Comments (41)So glad that Hissy has found a good temporary home. I've always loved snakes and have had them as pets since I was a child. Later, when I was in grad school and living in an apartment just off campus, my much younger brother brought a rat snake home from scout camp. Unfortunately, my father, who was terrified of snakes, announced that either the snake went or he would go, so naturally I took him off my brother's hands and installed him in a nice herpetarium in my apartment (at which point I discovered just who my friends were and weren't!) Kaa (as I named him, from Kipling of course) stayed with me until I had to move to another location, at which point I found a new home for him.I would love to have a snake pet again, but now I'm in a New York City apartment and haven't the room it would need. I'm hoping that Hissy will find a wonderful new home. Thanks to you for being so kind in rescuing him even though you weren't familiar with snakes!...See MoreCan you help identify this snake?
Comments (2)True, it may be a rat snake, but... do rat snakes rattle the end of their tails like a rattler would? That's what really threw me (after I thought about it). I mean... do ALL snakes do that when aggrivated? O.o?...See Moresnake description (no photo sorry)
Comments (3)Judging by location and time of year, my money is on the brown snake. I haven't seen any water snakes out yet and they have large blotches more than small spots. A mud stained garter snake is also a posibility. Ziggy...See MoreSnake Photo
Comments (5)Jem - King snakes are almost completely immune to rattlesnake and copperhead venom, so they hunt them. If you have a healthy population of king snakes, your population of venomous snakes drops....See More- 3 years ago
