We are kind of wondering what type of snake my brother caught. He caught it on the bank of the canal. Please if you know what type of snake it is tell me. <a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b251/daviesjpg/KennySnake002.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a>

.If I was you I woulnt mess with it till you no for sure

06 BaNsHeE · December 23, 2006, 05:47:35 PM

Arent moccasins like really poisinous?

dnigels · December 23, 2006, 05:48:57 PM

Rat snake.

Captain The Morgan · December 23, 2006, 05:51:32 PM

That snake..was it on a plane when you found it?

dnigels · December 23, 2006, 05:57:21 PM

You thinkin what I'm thinkin BLACK MAMBA!

jimmyt14 · December 23, 2006, 05:59:27 PM

I dont think its a rat snake but its hard to tell from that pic and yes moccasins are very poisionous

dnigels · December 23, 2006, 06:07:30 PM

One way to tell. Have your brother put his finger in it's mouth; If it tries to swallow it, its a rat snake, if it bites it with two little hooky-like things and his finger and hand swells up the size of an elephant's nut sack, it's a baby moccasin!

Just kidding do not try this at home!

jimmyt14 · December 23, 2006, 06:11:41 PM

lmfao!!!!

yfz450runner · December 23, 2006, 06:16:48 PM

looks like a boa constrictor (or some sort of constrictor snake)due to its markings. if the head is diamond shaped..........put it down and run away!!!!! hope this helps.......

klutchbuster400 · December 23, 2006, 06:19:18 PM

10-4 But I am leaning toward water snake. round eyes will confirm, cat eyes = leave it alone!! OR.......... When it bites you........if it leaves TWO puncture wounds and feels like someone hit you with a fire poker its a moccasin. You choose the way you wish to find out!!

Bottom line if you are not SURE LEAVE IT ALONE!!!!

jimmyt14 · December 23, 2006, 07:26:17 PM

that would be the best thing lol

06 BaNsHeE · December 23, 2006, 07:48:59 PM

That little man is crazy

bmd11 · December 23, 2006, 07:50:14 PM

Easy way to find out... Jam a shovel through it's neck. Let it sit ouside for 2 days and take the carcas to the vet. They'll tell you what it is.

dnigels · December 23, 2006, 08:59:23 PM

Same thing you do when you can't remember someone's name.

You want him to ask the snake what kind of snake it is

Mudneck · January 02, 2007, 05:25:55 PM

SWAMP_DONKEY · January 02, 2007, 06:41:16 PM

dnigels · January 02, 2007, 06:50:30 PM

yunt2ride · January 07, 2007, 01:52:19 AM

I can tell you that if it was near me, it would be a dead snake.

cheropride · May 01, 2007, 12:39:00 AM

No doubt that is a water moccasin aka cotton mouth. I have seen them enough to know, he is very very lucky. I have caught a few snakes in my time, yea I know, makes hubby real happy, but that's one I would never mess with. They are extremely fast....

PS if you are ever fishing with a top lure, and one is following, don't keep reeling to your jon-boat. Don't ask me how I know.. lol

But seriously, that is a very dangerous snake, because they are very aggressive, more so than a rattler.

CABLEGUY1 · May 01, 2007, 02:59:29 AM

I think it's Jake "the snake" Plummer.

Ida_Mann · May 01, 2007, 03:04:15 AM

cotton mouths are the only snake I've ever seen CHASE a human or large animal.

I'd say the only thing to do with that one is to make like you are twirling a lasso above your head and fling it by the head as far away from you as you can,,,,preferrably towards a neighbor that doesn't like ATVs ;-)

Sleazy_Rider78 · May 01, 2007, 03:09:10 AM

Well, its definitely not a trouser snake.

qt314nfla · May 01, 2007, 03:09:22 AM

I heard someone caught a snake this weekend, I don't think it was a cotton mouth though. Atleast not at first. I'm sure it wouldn't approved of being twirled over head though.

Might give a hernia trying to lift the thing too.

SWAMP_DONKEY · May 01, 2007, 03:21:06 AM

How did this get restarted??? BOUNTY did you do this?? I mean AD.

JuniorMudder · May 07, 2007, 07:43:41 PM
