What Kind Of Snake Is This ?

[Selassie I]

It's not a Burmese Python lol... Thankfully those only are invading/surviving down in South Florida for the most part.

This Florida native snake was crawling across my driveway last night. I've seen him once before hanging around my pepper plants, but this time I was able to snap a pic of him.

I know what kind he is. You don't see these guys very often. Beautiful snakes... zoom in on his spots.

Can you name his species WITHOUT LOOKING IT UP ?

Whatever it is, even if venomous, it's probably kinder than my ex could ever be.

Awww, it's cute!!!

It’s a Okeetee corn snake. It’s harmless. It may try to bite if you pick it up but, their bites don’t hurt as much as they startle.

I’d let it be. They eat lizards and mice. Once they are all gone it will move on.

Maybe a rat snake, I think the general rule of thumb on whether a snake is poisonous or not depends on the shape of the shape of the head. If the snake has a more diamond shape or pointed head, it’s poisonous. If the snake has a rounded head, it’s non-poisnous

Hey, even snakes have to go to sleep sometimes.

It’s a corn snake, which is in the Rat Snake family.

Yep

Corn Snake

A young one. Unlimited lizards for him to eat here for sure.

Awe come on. They're so soft and cuddly.

Tell him to go after the mice instead. Small reptiles eat a shitload of bugs. #reptilesareyourfriend

It looks like a Green Water snake to me.

Spiders and bats eat bugs (spiders eat flies; bats mostly eat mosquitoes) as well, for all people out there who are scared of them . #spidersandbatsarealsofriends

It’s a corn snake.

Water snakes have vertical labial stripes on the lower jaw they aren’t red.

Snakes are not evil. Please don’t kill them.
