Ok, I loaded the pic into hobbyist photo albums. So it should work now. All my other pics in yahoo work fine on other sites. It is open to the public. So I dont know why its not working on here. But this one should work now!
And yes, it is a guessing game. But should be an EASY one.
Again, the only hint is, She is still very young, and 7 ft long.

That there is your regular greenish snake with black polka dots. It sort of looks like that big snake in that movie "Anaconda", but I can't remember the name of it.

Hmmm, a greenish snake with dark spots? That would be a Narrow-Headed Garter Snake.

All snakes have the ability to shrink dramatically after being captured. Venomous snakes also have the ability to actually change species after death or capture as well. I have personally witnessed this phenomenon many times.

I don't even know how many times I've gotten a call that goes like: "I just caught a rattler! It's gotta be 6 foot long and has a head the size of my fist! You gotta get over here and get this thing, quick!" So, I load up and go to collect the offending critter and find a 5-gallon bucket on the driveway with a piece of plywood on top and 4 or 5 concrete blocks holding the plywood down. I remove all of blocks and plywood only to find a 2-foot Gray Rat Snake in the bucket, scared out of it's wits and just begging me to get it out of there.

I'm sure that after it is released it returns to it's real species and monstrous size, but I've never witnessed that part.

I guess the other possibility would be that the Rat Snake somehow found it's way into the bucket and ate the Rattlesnake, but that doesn't seem likely.

I think after so many hints I will just GIVE you all the answer. It is in fact a "Green Anaconda".
I thought certainly after the one person said it was greenish and looked like the snake off Anaconda the movie that was enough. But I guess its not something everyone see's often?
So yes, a Green Anaconda. She is almost 2 years old. 7 ft long.
MY baby.

Green Anacondas are one of the easiest snakes to ID. I don't think anyone wasn't positive what it was.

Anaconda! It was right on the tip of my tongue...well, not the snake. That would be funny-looking. I've never had a snake on my tongue before. I did have one on my car once, though. It was a Windshield Viper.

Well, I am a bit slow. I knew oldherper was, well, somewhere out there anyhow. But the first one about the narrow headed garter snake.... No, I didnt know they were kidding. But like I said, I AM slow. :P
Oldherper puts some funny stuff out there.

Well, Sirens my baby. Though she is a bit snappy this time of the season. I think she's PMSing. :-S

oldherper Oct 04, 2004 04:23 PM
