Default Snakes are out!!
Just a warning for everyone to keep an eye out for their pets, children and themselves. Yesterday while taking my dog for a walk my grandson saw a little snake in the weeds. He started to reach down for it but his mother and I pulled him back. So be aware people---the snakes are out!

ok... this is a pet issue. Rather than get all huffy about our citizens' seemingly overwhelming preponderance for fear/loathing/hate/ill-will for all natural things in my beloved southern ecosystem (and especially snakes) I thought I'd use this opportunity to spread a little knowledge and hopefully save a snake life or two...

I have a little quiz set up... can anyone identify which of the following North Carolina snakes are poisonous? Extra credit awarded for identification...

1.


2.


3.


4.

9.

highly unlikely that you saw a copperhead. Copperhead bear their young live and don't usually even begin to mate until spring. More likely to see juvenile copperheads around late April to May. Their young are usually around 8-10" in length as newborns and they have a characteristic and highly identifiable yellow tail as juveniles:



you probably saw a brown snake.

OK, I'll bite. I don't think any of those snakes are poisonous.

Here's our own front yard resident. He makes an appearance near the bird feeders from time to time. He may be guilty of eating the Carolina Wren babies that were living in a watering can on our front porch.....but we don't hold it against him.

Is #7 an Eastern Diamondback? Even if it wasn't, that one would give me the most concern out of all of them.
