Got out this evening got a couple right out front .Found them In 23 feet they were really tight group we have to work for them. They were on the up current side of a drop off in an area no bigger than the front yard. Sting Silvers worked well until the current died and then it was over.
Can anybody identify this 18 inch long snake my kids found in the front yard thank you
I don't know. If it was found in my front yard, it would be the soon to be dead snake they found right about where the "For Sale" sign went up!
My bride HATES only 3 kinds of snakes:
A live snake,
A dead snake,
And a stick that looks like a snake.
Sorry I can't be of more help other than that is definitely a snake she would hate!! In fact, I'm not too crazy about 'em either....
Without a better photo of the head, it might be a "hog nose" snake. There would be a small uptick on the nose.
This was one of our favorite "pets" when growing up. They are harmless and will even play dead if you handle them too much.
If it wasn't a hog nose, keeping your distance is always a good idea with any snake you don't know the species.
Jeff, I guess you don't have a rubber snake on the boat to keep the birds off the transom
Hard to tell without a view of the head, but the markings look like a Northern Brownsnake or a Northern Pinesnake.
The Northern Brown is found everywhere in MD. The Pinesnake is much more rare. I think a few counties on the eastern shore and a few in Anne Arundel county.
Neither are venomous.
Might want to send that pic to DNR. They are VERY interested in knowing where the Pinesnakes are found.
snake identification please
