Posted by: pjmama99 at Thu Sep 14 07:36:45 2006 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by pjmama99 ] I've been all over the net and can't find the snake i saw. Unfortunately i don't have a photo and he was killed by a car so his head was crushed beyond recognition all i have is his body marks. He has a /// dark black like a double chevron stripe repeating all the way down his body. very distinct very black. this pattern is solid has no other markings that i could see.. besides the unbroken w type pattern he's light tan in color but has a darkish tan stripe running along his back... his belly is pale... with a slight pinkish tinge... he was about 13 inches long or so... and about 3 fingers thickness around.... i hope this helps any information would be appreciated or a site where i might look up snakes of alabama something with a good database of images. Oh i'm in Mid south alabama... around the montgomery area i live in a heavily wooded area this snake was found at the edge of some tall weeds near the road. it's been raining recently and the soil is pretty sandy but the bottom of my drive where he was holds quite a bit of moisture. I don't know if this helps. we have a lot of rocks nothing too dry lots of leaf debris and wood debris. He didn't appear to have a rattle.. and didn't seem to look like any rattle snakes i've seen. HIs coloration wasn't mottled at all. He was light tane with a very black marking. [ Hide Replies ]
