Saw an absolutely gorgeous watersnake today! Must’ve been at least two feet long, super handsome snake (I saw another, much smaller one a week or two ago, even got to see it enjoying a meal, but I’d have to take some time to sift through my camera roll since more of my pictures are not very good)

Oh, wonderful! I love videos of watersnakes swimming so much. Thank you for sending this in!!

What should I tell you? About the Saturday in December that Bunny ran around the house at five in the morning, yelling 'First snow!' and pouncing on our beds? Or the time Camilla tried to teach me the box step; or the time Bunny turned the boat over – with Henry and Francis in it – because he thought he saw a water snake?

They say one way you can tell the harmless watersnake from the venomous cottonmouth is by the shape of the pupils; the watersnake has round pupils while the cottonmouth has slitted, eliptical pupils in harsh light.

#raggedstar #raggedpelt #yellowfang #brokenstar #brokentail #warrior cats #there are obviously other ways to tell apart watersnakes and cottonmouths #and psa: don't kill either of them!! they're just going about their days. #wait am i supposed to be talking about cats?

Fun fact: Coral snakes (a member of elapidae, meaning they're closely related to taipans/cobras/kraits etc) are actually very chill! They're SO chill, in fact, that it's rare for hospitals to have the proper antivenom in stock, because people don't tend to get bitten by them. As a general rule, try to be hesitant about handling what you think is some kind of coral mimic.

Also, the red/black/jack, red/yellow/kill-a-fellow rhyme only works in the US & northern mexico, generally speaking- elapids and mimics in Southern Mexico and beyond (M. diastema in Mexico, M. isozonus in Venezuela, etc) follow different patterns. Be aware of what venomous sp. look like in your area!

In any case, corals don't want to bite you. In fact, because you- presuming you are in fact a human and not a sentient mouse or frog that has learned to use the Internet- are so huge, no venomous snake wants to bite you, as you would be too large to fit in their stomach. Snakes bite when they feel threatened. Sometimes, this threatening is on accident (stuck hand in wrong place while hiking, picking up firewood, accidentally stuck foot somewhere, etc). However, a number of snake bites are because someone was being stupid and harassing the animal.

Just. Don't mess with snakes, y'all. They don't want to mess with you, either. I promise.

#welcome to the table #wttt florida #wttt #If anyone wants advice on how to ID their local venomous snakes I would be happy to oblige assuming I'm familiar with the region #Generally though in the US it'll either be corals or a pit viper and pit vipers are CHUNKY. #This gets them confused with watersnakes a lot #And hognoses sometimes (which is why hognoses do the Cobra Thing iirc) #snakes #snake tw #coral snake tw #coral snake #(does that do anything?

So, this is the drawing I made for Rayman Alive 2023, a bunch of characters inspired by the Polokurse style. I'm not completely satisfied with the result (specially the lighting/shading), but I ran out of time 😅.

Two Striped Garter Snake - Thamnophis hammondii by Arlene Schag Via Flickr: Two Striped Garter Snake - Thamnophis hammondii underwater in Pine Valley Creek, California. The forest is peaceful and seems we are the only people in this part of Pine Valley Creek. My hiking buddy lounges on some rocks while I explore downstream.

Hello to two snakes that are often confused for each other! Copperheads (Agkistrodon controtrix) and northern watersnakes (Nerodia sipedon) overlap in much of their range. Copperheads can be found in the US from the East Coast, across the midwest, and down south to Florida. Northern watersnakes are common in the US along the East Coast and midwest, and can even sometimes be found in Canada in the southern regions of Quebec. Copperheads are pit vipers, while northern watersnakes are nonvenemous colubrids--although they are notorious for their attitude and willingness to bite! Much more willing to bite than the shy copperhead who much prefers to freeze and rely on their camouflage to hide them. When northern watersnakes feel threatened, they will often put on a bit of a show, making a loud hissing noise and flattening their heads to appear larger--which can also cause people to assume they are venemous snakes due to the triangle shaped head found in many pit vipers (just one reason why head shape is not a reliable indicator of snake species!) One way to tell the two apart that is more reliable is the pupil, as copperheads have slit pupils commonly seen in other pit vipers, and watersnakes have more of a round, loveably googly eyed appearance, although if you're not sure if a snake is venemous best practice is to err on the side of caution and avoid getting eye to eye with them!

The copperhead pictured above is a juvenile, and that's not a caterpillar on the ground behind it--that's its tail! Juvenile copperheads have bright green or yellow tails--thought to help the babies attract prey as they can hide and use their tail as a lure. This color will fade into the same pattern and coloration as the rest of their body as they age and shed their skin.
