My two guesses are cottonmouth or yellow-bellied water snake.
Biggest pile of skin I have ever found. Might be time to move...
What is it??
Found in a swimming pool. Was alive, I pulled it out and it just sat there, so I picked it up from behind on a piece of wood and carried it to a bush in a grassy space and it slithered away right away.
My main question is whether it’s venomous.
Thanks!
Hiding in the leaves on the side of the stairs. Brown, about 60cm. Have a video that I can’t seem to post. Gently and safely encouraged to move off the stairs as people were walking up and down and didn’t want him to either get stepped on…. (Or provoked to bite in case he is a dangerous noodle.)
Cat eyed snake? Thanks all
Fairly certain this is Symphimus mayae the Yucatán White-Lipped Snake based on the terrible photo and what I saw of the snake as it paused on the path.
I live in a snake diversity wasteland and was really hoping to see a snake on my trip, so this was really exciting for me!
I don't normally come across snakes but I came across 3 in 2022. I wonder if having less tourism in the COVID years brought the snakes out.
I thought it was a brown snake but wasn't sure because the head was a bit flat. It's hard to see in the picture. I was too scared to get close enough to take a good picture haha.
I went to Brisbane a couple of years ago and found this snake chilling in the grass. I was shocked because the park is in the heart of the city.
