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>

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!

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.......

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!!!!

that would be the best thing lol

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.
