shermanator 3 #1 November 9, 2012 I found this little guy at work. I've been holding him all day, I'm curious if anyone can tell me what kind of snake it is. Yorba Linda, ca, so I'm guessing just like a gopher snake or something like that?CLICK HERE! new blog posted 9/21/08 CSA #720 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FreeFallFiend 0 #3 November 9, 2012 Missing a picture, but based on your description I think it's safe to assume thats a trouser snake. Mostly harmless unless you are careless with it. Try not to handle it too much as they are known to spit. Fiend I am about to take my last voyage, a great leap in the dark. - Thomas Hobbes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

christelsabine 1 #5 November 9, 2012 Looks like a young Texas rattle snake - have fun playing with that little sweetie a bit more .... (if it's still alive, of course) .... dudeist skydiver # 3105 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydivecat 3 #6 November 9, 2012 Def appears to be venomous (shape of head is the clue there, my college herpetology course was a long time ago though). I agree with young rattler. I would be careful... just my $.02 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remster 24 #8 November 9, 2012 Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't juvenile rattlers EXTREMELY dangerous since they don't dose when they bite?????Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydivecat 3 #9 November 9, 2012 Yup, adults tend to withhold some venom, babies are inexperienced so when they bite, they usually unload ALL their venom. To the OP, if you are serious, put that lil guy down and let him head on his way before he kills you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

headoverheels 291 #15 November 9, 2012 The Guatemalan clearing brush from my backyard weed-eatered a couple of rattlers to death, which he was going to take home to eat. He indicated the rattler, and said "for lady." I said "for BAby?" He said "no, for LAdy." Apparently you tie the rattler with a string onto your schlong, so it goes "ching..ching....ching..ching" as you are doing the deed. Erotic -- when you use the rattler. Kinky -- when you use the whole snake. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LisaH 0 #18 November 10, 2012 Shermie, why in the world would you hold a snake that you can't identify? You have a young daughter that will get curious. Let it go.Be yourself! MooOOooOoo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZigZagMarquis 8 #19 November 10, 2012 Sherm, I'd suggest you acquire a Remington 870 pump action "snake catcher" (works on cats too) to use before you go picking up anymore rattle snakes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buff 0 #25 November 10, 2012 My guess based on the pattern and lack of a rattle is a California King snake. But I am a Texan so YMMV.It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude.
