What kind of snake is this?

She was calm and an awesome animal. We took her because she was near some picnicking families. I had her for a few months until I donated her to a breeding program at the San Edisto Serpentarium. This pic really shows her size well.

Wow, yeah she's a lot smaller than I thought from the first pic...

But that's awesome what you did. Really awesome.

Thanks. She was a great animal. Very calm, never rattled at all while we were collecting her. Because she was so fat, we thought she was gravid, but it turned out, she just ate a lot of damn squirrels and young rabbits.

Maybe I should do a thread to teach people about some of the native animals of GA. When I do presentations I'm always surprised how little people actually know about the animals they see every day. Yall know those "palmetto bugs" you see all over the walls of your house during the summer? Those are roaches. They're Periplaneta fuliginosa, the smoky brown roach. They (like their cousin, the American roach, Periplaneta americana) were introduced to the US from Africa over 200 years ago.

Do it. Every spring and summer there's about 10-15 snake ID threads that pop up and a good many of them are pics of dead snakes.

I kill "palmetto bugs" with a size 11 shoe. Is that okay? If not come arrest me because I'm not going to stop.

Invasive species, kill when encountered.

I would enjoy reading that. Knowledge is almost always good.

Oddly enough I just shiver at the mention of spiders but I don't fear snakes. I am not talking about the tarantulas we use to have in Oklahoma. The are slow and don't bite. Those I can handle. They are big, however I have seen spiders here in Ga. that would equal the size of a tarantulas but have longer legs and look like a giant wolf, or brown recluse. That makes my skin crawl. Snakes, can't get enough of them. Spiders however are a kill on site deal with me. Unless I am familiar with the spider and I just shovel it up with a piece of paper and take it outside. It's when you walk to the trash can and run through a spider web. aahhhhh! I flip out and do the jungle dance bating at every square inch of my body. That sh*t just freaks me out.

Ever step on one of those big wolf spiders only to find she has a couple hundred babies on her back ....that scatter.
