Papa came over and asked who wanted a snake. Didn't take me long to find my shorts and bullet out the door. This guy was in his planter on his porch in East Texas. Papa usually kills any snake he sees so I consider this a rescue. He was quick to rattle his tail in the leaves and struck at me several times. He wasn't in very good condition when we found him so we are trying to nurse him back to health.

Thank you for your post. Trying to get all these snakes straight so I can help my 7 year old son. He says he wants to be the Croc Hunter when he grows up so I figure he better get started early lol...
