Crown snakeView attachment 145096
Smallest snek I have ever found. It doesn't look like
what I call a worm sneak, it had a small white band around it's neck.
What say the pros? He did try to bite me.
Timber rattlesnake. A young one. When they get older the color will darken starting at the tail to where the snake is almost blackView attachment 163259
On the road...he was hiding his head. Not sure if it had been hit. Had the tail puffed and flat and tip in the air.
Another from further away...not a big one, but big enough!!!

I think their rattles progress as they shed. I think they get a rattle when they shed after they reach breeding ageAgreed, but when do they get rattles? This one looks like it has them but my son had a closer picture and those aren’t, at least not yet. It is certainly raising the tail like one though!

Yeah, HN all right. That's not long been born. Cute little fellaView attachment 163442 Found what I think is a Hog Nose in the woods the other day. First it rolled up and played dead then as I moved it with a stick flattened his head some.
Too bad... ya kilt a good'un!View attachment 168121
He was pissed as a I interrupted his afternoon siesta. His sentence was exercised upon trying to bite me.

When?View attachment 187521
Timber Rattlesnake that crossed my path in Uwharrie National Forest.
When?
Yes, they’re black rats, NO, they don’t need to go. When the food supply is gone, there will be as well. They’re not poisonous or aggressive. They’ll eat mice, rats and poisonous snakes. Relocate them if you’ve chicks.I think this is a baby rat snake in the bucket? I found it sunning itself on my deck yesterday about 3' from the sliding glass door, I always tell my wife to never leave the door open longer then it takes to walk through it or someday she will find critters in the house.

I suspect this is momma. Found it about a week ago sunning on the cement slab next to the deck, I swear it is every bit of 6'. My deck is attached to the house and is closed of with lattice, I'm starting to wonder is the lattice is giving the snakes protection from predator's and this has become their mating and laying area. Maybe the lattice has to go?

What a purty snake!This one was in front of my mailbox Monday. I finished him off but someone had already hit him.
Is it guud ruck when the 1st snake seen for the year a beauty? This 2’ king was sunning in the driveway a couple days ago. They’re so calm, even when warm, never even threatened to bite or musk when I picked him up. Damned covid, I wanted my grandsons to hold him as well.

When I put him down in the woods, I understood why I very rarely see them. I would have thought the glossy black and whitish stripes would make him stand out, nope.
