ok was cleaning my pond yesterday.Got the crap scared outta me a lil snake poked his head up at me [scaredy] I don't CARE for snakes.I'm really really hopeing he is a single male cause the females are breeding right now and hatch80+ snake babies
he looks like this(site has bad pic scroll down fr english)
http://www.bn-hof.de/~rattau/nitae.htm
http://www.thamnophis.com/nitae.htm


I've looked at TX herp site and don't show my snake.i tried to flood him out and he looked at from under waterfall like what did I think I was doing.I'll try to get a better picture.i prefer to be able to see where he's at while finishing cleaning pond cause I AM NOT leaning my arm down into water for leaves& muck and have him HOP DOWN my shirt.I would be the naked woman running through the woods screaming.How do I serve an eviction notice to it?I really really hope its a him.I had to shoot a timber rattler last year and she had 8 babies about 12 inches long.my neghbors dogs just would NOT shut up.dead snake shut them up.

I'll check back latter.I'd shoot him but that would put a hole in my preformed liner(a#2 reason to not use pre frmed liner.....snake home.
my toads& froggys seem to be fine but never bothered too count them but they hopped over his head and he did notheing,but he was busy watching me& me him as cooped crap outta pond.
((I knew would see one soon,they wake in febuary...guess they were"rained in" [Big Grin] Is there a snakeumator in the house.HE HEE)

Oh you lucky thing!!! I used to have snakes as a kid. We had one 2 years ago a black snake that get 8 feet long. Not very common because we are considered in the city.

LOL! Luckily this one was just visiting because the pond he was swimming in was just 2 feet by 4 feet.

We usually have a black snake hanging around here. He watches me when I work in the yard and I watch him watch me.

Njoynit,

You crack me up! [Big Grin] [Big Grin] I can almost picture you in your pj's with workboots and a shotgun on the hunt! LOL!! I'm sorry...but that's the picture I got of ya in my mind!!!! [Big Grin] [Big Grin] [kissies]

I was surprised with a family of snakes living in my stone wall last spring. It was surprising to stumble across him...her...it. I am just waiting for him to *surprise* me again with his presence while gardening. I hope SHE doesn't surprise me with a big snakey family. [shocked] [scaredy]
