I suddenly have no desire to shoot a honey badger. I really don't like snakes.

 

[Britt Beck]

I don't like any of them. Lol.

What sort of snake s it in the last photo - one that is virtually invisible?

 

[Dr Ray]

I had no idea a snake would eat a snake. Neat. Thanks for posting.

That’s what the king cobra eats - other snakes.
Reminds me of politicians! Lol!!!

I just love the reticulated pythons, one of the most beautiful snakes imo.
pity these, the Asian rock pythons & blood pythons get hunted to near extinction for the skin trade.

I doubt these Giants will still be seen in another 50 years from now.

 

[PLM]

There will probably be plenty in Florida!

Most snakes are harmless, and the others, well, just don´t try to play with them

In Australia most snakes are far from harmless. Top 11 in the world for deadliest are oz.

The deadliest snake in the world, is the one that just bit you.. the rest are irrelevant at that point.

He should have just run over the thing. The snake clearly thinks it is king of the road.

Have to love most of them down here. I have a six to seven foot bull snake that lives under and occasionally in one of the sheds. Always says hi from unexpected angles - not venomous but he may kill me via a heart attack. But then again - we have never seen a rat here. They are also famous for helping with the rattler problem. Rat snakes and hognose snakes are common. I could probably catch a couple of green snakes in the hedges any afternoon. Rattlesnakes are a different matter. We have dogs and a grandchild. I have tried to keep them under some semblance of control. We are on the western edge of the timber rattlesnake range, and I have killed one of them on the place. We are on the eastern edge of the Western Diamondback range, and they are the most common here. A bad thing about them is that they hunt primarily at night, making letting the dogs out before going to bed a potential rodeo. Killed one of those on the front walkway right after we moved in, and a couple of others since. Finally, we border the San Gabriel River, and we have the occasional water moccasin in residence there - which give me the creeps worse than a rattlesnake because they can be territorial. South Texas isn't Aussieland or Africa, but it is still interesting.

That makes two of us.
