Anyone one know what kind of snake this is?

One with stripes

One with stripes

That's a Fact Jack!!!!

 

[dread Pirate]

Looks like a Banded Sand Snake. Not harmful and great for rodents.

 

[outboardrick]

Looks like a King snake.....Or could be a Coral snake. One's harmless and the other is deadly

 

[DILLIGAF]

Red touching yellow makes it a coral snake i believe. If so watch out.

 

[RCDave]

Coral snakes do not reside in Az.

No red. Yellow and black.

 

[Taboma]

Just a venomous sea snake, one that will kill you quite quickly, although I think they have very short fangs ----- so if you're really good, I think you've got half a chance of surviving

But I'd wear gloves just in case

The question should be, how the fuck did a sea snake get into your pool ??? Did you piss your neighbor off and he's a reptile caretaker at Sea World ??

 

[ChevelleSB406]

Eff snakes, I get that some do good and all that, but mine is by definition a phobia, a complete irrational fear, eff snakes.

 

[TBI]

Looks like a Beetlejuice snake

 

[dread Pirate]

King snake and banded sand snake. King has red.

 

[RCDave]

Long-nosed Snake - Rhinocheilus lecontei.

Its not venomous and ain't no sea snake!

 

[cofooter]

California Kingsnake

 

[DILLIGAF]

Coral snakes do not reside in Az.

I do believe they do in our neck of the woods in Maricopa County

 

[Patyacht]

Not true. http://www.discoverseaz.com/Wildlife/snakes.html
Looks like a Banded Sand Snake.

 

[Taboma]

Ahhh come on, looks more like a Sea Snake than any of the other pics put up OK so the tail might be a bit different, picky picky

 

[RCDave]

Your right Tom but this is not a coral snake

The Arizona coral snake, clearly a separate species and genus, is found in central and southern Arizona, extreme southwestern New Mexico and southward to Sinaloa in western Mexico. It occupies arid and semiarid regions in many different habitat types including thornscrub, desert-scrub, woodland, grassland and farmland. It is found in the plains and lower mountain slopes from sea level to 5800 feet (1768 m); often found in rocky areas.[6]

Thank you. seems I was also right about the yellow and red bands touching. I haven't seen one yet but it is just a matter of time. I could not make out the colors in the pic.

 

[DILLIGAF]

No red. Yellow and black.

Probably not an issue at all. Go grab it....lol

 

[76 Hondo]

It falls into one of the four varieties I don't like: Live ones-Dead ones-Long ones- Short ones:yikes

 

[charlyox]

I got the pool net and flung it over the fence. It hasn't moved in ten minutes.

 

[HitIt]

I would have grabbed the shotgun and started pumping rounds into the pool.

 

[Andy01]

Was it moving in the pool?

 

[Abc123]

California Kingsnake

Yep. I was running through the preserve in Costa Mesa a while back and one of those fuckers popped out of a bush in front of me. They're not venomous, but they'll still ruin a pair of underwear.

 

[2Driver]

I do believe they do in our neck of the woods in Maricopa County

Im impressed you are really getting to know the place.

Yep...red touches yellow, kills a fellow.

 

[Deja_Vu]

Yes sir....red touches black, poison lack.

 

[cmayer]

Looks like a shovel nose

 

[Taboma]

I suppose the fact it appeared to be lying on the bottom of the pool versus on top of the water, might be why it's not moving now --- or maybe just needs to warm up ?
Anyway, you tried to save a good snake to have around :thumbup: Unless of course you tossed the fucker 20' in the air as it went over the fence ---- oops

One with stripes

Looks like a dead one with stripes.

 

[FreeBird236]

It might be a baby anaconda from the channel...:yikes

 

[cole_skier]

California King. My son use to have one as a pet.

 

[Ziggy]

That's where my thinking was going...Snakes usually are on the surface, not thinking they've evolved to breathe water yet

 

[boatnam2]

King!

 

[GRADS]

This is the only "good" one I want around my house.

I pay attention from time to time.....LOL

Finding the Western Diamondback in the garage elevated my awareness

Yeah F That! Another reason to import more good snakes. They eat the same food as the rattlers.

 

[Undersoul02]

Looks like a Mohave Shovel-nosed to me. http://www.californiaherps.com/snakes/pages/c.o.occipitalis.html

 

[Englewood]

Anyone know what it costs to fill a bullet hole in a pool?

 

[BHC Vic]

Do all snakes swim?

 

[dread Pirate]

Do all snakes swim?

They can. As a kid back east when you were swimming and a cottonmouth swam through the swimming hole I was told to dive underwater until it passes. Apparently they can't bite underwater or they'll drown and they think you are something that will eat them, so the swim away quickly.

Shitting your shorts while holding your breath underwater sux!

 

[Bigbore500r]

That snake looks like it needs to try a different prop

 

[HavasuHank]

Shoulda grilled that bitch up.

Snake ... the other white meat.

 

[TrollerDave]

Do all snakes swim?

Dead ones don't.

 

[charlyox]

They do.
