Lunchtime snake drama

I was at work, but my wife took some pictures. The snake catcher gave the local dialect name for it, so we're non the wiser as to what species it is. It will be a happy ending for the snake. The catcher is from the local snake park, and the reptile will either be exhibited or released out of town.

    Could be a rat snake which is fairly common.

    When I had my 6 acres used to have a lot of copper heads on it and the odd water moccasin..both poisonous.

    The exwife used to raise quail and keep Quail egg incubators in the bathroom because of the humidity/temp for the eggs and a copperhead somehow got in the bathroom..I guess it smelled the eggs...still never figured out how it got in there.....up the toilet perhaps. /shrug.

    During the almost 7 years I lived in Texas, I never saw a single living snake. The only snakes I saw were road kill. I spent plenty of time hiking too (also crewing for a friend's hot air balloon, which usually meant retrieving from random fields). I was most disappointed! (I've seen more snakes in Britain, having seen a grass snake once).
