I hear ya bro!..LOL!
My friend was describing a snake to me he saw while fishing that didn't sound to me like anything native to his area in Florida, or to this entire country either for that matter!
As good as I am about identifying snakes though, what always seems to KILL me is most of the general public's descriptions of them to me. Some folks descriptions of snakes just blow me away and do nothing but confuse me MORE..LOL!
"uh,...well, it had a big pointy "triangle-shaped head, with definite diamonds along it's back".
Turns out to be a hatchling Yellow Ratsnake..LOL!
Most peoples perception of what they see is far different than mine, and even when I try most of the time to account for this, it can still be just about ANYTHING!
