- Is the water in you pool salty?

That's a hard question to answer what is the easiest way to test salinity besides taste; god knows I'm not tasting that muck.



- How far are you from the nearest salt or brackish water?

there are several drainage canals that lead to the swamps, lakes, and bayous all in close proximity to my house



- Where is the house in respect to the landfall of the hurricane?

we got hit by storm surge and had about a foot (deep) of swamp mud and grass on our property.



- Could these be the offspring of snakes relocated by the hurricane?

could be



- That is, could they be the result of a Gulf Salt washed inland that crossbred a Broad-banded?

could be.



Everyone suggests catching them for closer inspection but unless you have a technique that you can tell me this is going to be a challenge.

the only "Net" i have at my disposal is a section of netting used to screen in windows. plus these things are fast.
