How do I know she's asleep? Because if she noticed me she'd be at the glass like HIIIIIIIIIII I SEE YOU HI WHAT ARE YOU DOING ARE YOU GONNA TAKE ME OUT OR FEED ME!?

He was very spooked by us, and hid in the grass shortly after. I always love seeing the local snakes thrive here, love seeing these little guys.

Gorgeous little Northern Mexican Pinesnake -absolutely thrilled to have her

I nearly stood on this snake during a run today. Can someone identify it. I'm 36 and never seen a wild snake in the UK.

I was around Tallahassee, Florida and saw this huge rattlesnake! I made sure he got off the road safely. He was super cool!

My daughter just turned 9, and has been asking for a snake and she was 7. I of course took it as a phase, but I’m not even kidding when I say she spends ALL her free time researching and reading about snakes. Reptile show next weekend, and we’re ready for our new family member ❤️ (and I’m excited to share in her passion.)

Located in SW Florida, I know it’s a baby, but I was walking my dog and this dude was in the middle of the pathway. Just looking to identify!

As I not so patiently await it to get warmer in my area for herping, ive been looking through my photos from last season. This lil cutie was the first ever snake I found in wild and held, so definetly holds a special place in my heart. Baby bullsnake in northeastern Colorado!

This lil guy scared the crap out of me. Just curious what kind of snake it is.

Thought you guys might approve

Agkistrodon laticinctus, (Gloyd & Conant, 1934)

Agkistrodon laticinctus, also known as the broad-banded copperhead, is a venomous pit viper species found primarily in the central United States, particularly in states like Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas.

This snake is notable for its distinctive broad, dark crossbands that contrast with its lighter background color, which can range from reddish-brown to grayish-brown. These bands help it blend into its natural habitat, providing excellent camouflage.

The broad-banded copperhead typically inhabits deciduous forests, rocky hillsides, and areas near streams and rivers. It prefers environments where it can easily hide among leaf litter, rocks, and logs. This species is also known to inhabit abandoned buildings and other structures in rural areas.

Its diet consists mainly of small mammals, birds, amphibians, and large insects, which it hunts using its heat-sensing pits located between the eyes and nostrils. The venom of Agkistrodon laticinctus is hemotoxic, meaning it destroys red blood cells and disrupts blood clotting, which helps immobilize its prey.

Although the broad-banded copperhead is venomous, it is generally not aggressive towards humans and will usually try to escape if encountered. Bites are relatively rare and typically occur only if the snake is accidentally stepped on or otherwise provoked.

When threatened, it may exhibit defensive behaviors such as vibrating its tail, releasing a musky odor, or striking. Despite its potentially dangerous bite, the broad-banded copperhead plays an important role in its ecosystem by controlling the populations of its prey species.

I got this beautiful guy, Cinder, today from a snake expo. He's a Honduran Milk Snake 4 years old. I am going on a trip Tuesday through Saturday, should I feed him before the trip or wait till after? Google says I should wait a week or two to feed him, but my friend who owns ball pythons recommends me to feed him before I leave. Also should I feed him in or out of the enclosure?

I have these in my fridge for about a month and i don’t think i ever noticed something like this on my pinkies. The expiration date is february 2026. I noticed it on the second pinky i gave my corn snake and i think it maybe was on the first one as well. But she ate it without problems. It’s not sticky, it just looks like it’s part of it’s skin. It smells a bit off (not terribly off) but that might be because i thawed it under cold water and didn’t just leave it air thaw (or how do you say that). Is it still okay to eat. Could it we rotten or something? (NSFW for a dead mouse 🤷‍♀️)

My wife just bought me a PVC cage that is 4 tall 4-ft long and 2 ft wide what is the best way to heat this
