We just moved here in January and not sure what snakes are what. Â In the past 2 days we have seen 3 snakes in our back yard. Â The first I believe to be a garden snake the 2nd was Bright Red with Yellow rings both at our back door and the 3rd found in my pool today. Â I believe the 3rd to be a garden snake as well. Â We do have the Bayou behind us and I"m sure with the flooding its brought out more than usually I"m assuming. Â Has anyone else been experiencing snakes in their yards ? 4951
Coral snakes have red and yellow rings that touch. There is another snake that also has red yellow rings, but not touching and not poisonous. There is a little rhyme that goes..."red and yellow kill a fellow; red and black, friend of jack."This is a bad time of year for copperheads as well.We also have snakes that look nasty but are not - think they are rat snakes or something. 4951
My son killed a 3 ft. long snake Friday evening. A neighbor's cat was very curious and was about to get bit. It is believed to have been a copperhead. My dog was bit by a 10 inch copperhead, 3 weeks ago in the back yard.
