Can anyone identify the breed of this snake?
I've never ran across one before.

ball python ;)

X2 identical to one I had

Really. My wife found it in the yard of one of our rental properties, in Montgomery, Tx. Guess somebody turned it loose.

Yea that happens alot...that breed only gets to about 4 1/2 to 5 ft max

Not trying to jack your thread. But I was wondering if it was true that the swamps of Louisiana and Florida are getting infested with Pythons and Anacondas. Thought some of the locals might know.

yes they are, family in okechoobe say they are on the roads at night. few years ago they had one in their bathroom.

and thats a ball python healthy lookin at that

  Not South Louisiana. Our winters are just a little to mild for them to survive. However, it is quite common for people to raise them as pets
and when they get tired of them they turn them loose in the wild. They will live until the first freeze.

i had one when i first started driving and thought it would be cool to take it to school with me. well it was a cold day and the snake crawled into the heater of the truck and wraped himself around the heater core. after school i couldnt find him anywhere. about 4 or 5 days later after school i opened my door and the smell about knocked me over. i guess when the truck warmed up the heater core cooked him. anyhow i got to take the dash apart and pull a 4 foot dead snake out. It smelled so bad i just dropped the tailgate and sat the snake on it and went for a drive to dispose of it. the next day at school a guy at school was bragging about killing a 5 foot copper head in front of his house i didnt tell him that i had slung a dead snake off turning around in his driveway :angel: just a goofy story about my ball python :D

A 5 foot copper head would have probably made some kind of record is what I would have told him

I identify all my snakes the same way.  DEAD.

I thought you were raised better than that East Texas Boy . Lol :D

I think it's a Rattlincoppermocassin !

Like the Pythons in the everglades...The news and the state says they are millions of them...


....they open a season....

and kill 3 in a year??? ;D

Exactly!

Yeah that's a Ball Python. Had to be someone's released/escapes pet, you don't usually just find those slithering around wild. Usually very docile snakes.

You must be a braaaaave peacock for handling it and not knowing what kind it is lol im guessing someone let it go. I had a buddy who found one in his closet. It was tamed but still scary.

When I was little a would find grass snakes in she yard pretty often and play with em well one day my grampa killed a snake that I was playin with and started screamin at me for playin with a water moccasin. That was the last time I played with snakes lol scared the sh!t outa me!

New it wasn't poisonous and thought is was a python just wasn't sure. Myles next time you see Cade "2KRanch" ask him about the one I tried to get him to help me catch. It had 14 rattles and a button.

The state puts on hunts down in the everglades and peolpe pay for them by the foot!

Already been through this song and dance with Mike on hunting excursions.     rolleyes

The only logical explanation I can justify to myself is.....YALL AIN'T ALL THERE.  :laugh:

Like Bobby Boucher's mamma said.         "Snakes are the Devil" >:D

Well myles I got four kids so I don't play with em or act stupid with em any more but they just never bothered me so I don't bother them. I did eat the one me and kade found though. That big boy would have made a bad day for one of our dogs.

Lol

You ain't never seen me around snakes in the woods brotha.

I look like a convicted crack head that just stole a car with the poo poo in hot pursuit.  :laugh:


UP .....OUT......AND SIDEWAYS...... :o

dang miles at 12:30 i just woke the dead with my laugh :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
