Snakes on Stuff

The Green or Common Tree Snake is one of the most commonly seen snakes in suburban backyards, parks, and even inner city gardens. It lives in northern and eastern Australia.
Green Tree Snakes have no fangs and no venom. They are very reluctant to bite and would rather slither away. If provoked, a Green Tree Snake will rise up, inflate its throat and body, and make a stink from its anal glands – so best not to get too close.
Milk Snakes are non venomous but they can pack a mean bite and draw blood! As first hand witnessed as a boy. These snakes can reach between 3-6 ft. long.
Interesting thing was this snake coiled up on me when in the grass and vibrated his tail just like a rattle snake! He struck at the stick I put near him!
Warning...Snakes back in Ireland. Asha discovering snakes on Ballywhiskin Beach County Down, Northern Ireland. So be Warned!
Wikipedia: Commonly known as the keeled rat snake, Ptyas carinata is a species of colubrid snake. It is found in Indonesia, Myanmar, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Cambodia, Vietnam and Singapore. This little known species is probably the largest extant species in the diverse colubrid family that comprised just over half of living snake species. Known adult lengths of snakes of this species in Taiwan measured anywhere from 1.21 to 2.75 m (4 ft 0 in to 9 ft 0 in). However, the maximum reportedly size was about 4 m (13 ft 1 in). Males reportedly average slightly larger than females. They are probably opportunistic predators on a variety of prey, such as rodents, though adult lizards are thought to be significant prey in Indonesia.

A first for my garden & a nice surprise when this little guy slithered out while I was enjoying a cuppa!

I took this pic back in 2008 on the Niagara section of the Bruce Trail that crosses Shorthills Provincial Park with my Fuji film camera. Those days I was leading hikes with the members of the Bruce Trail Club. When I saw this snake on the path I told every body to stop and not move, these snakes are very shy, but venomous and I did not want any one to get hurt, and we let the snake find its way among the rocks.

Its 21:50 in the evening and the last golden light of another endless Estonian summer evening glints off the side of a empty oil train as it enters the siding at Tamsalu station. Behind me a loaded train awaits the signal with two C36-7s bound for Muuga Harbor.

These are common snakes, but I always like seeing them. I found this one on a recent trip to visit my aunt and uncle on their farm in eastern South Dakota, warming itself in a patch of sun on a cool September morning. (Thamnophis radix)
A pair of snakes (I don't know what type, just that they are venomous) that I photographed at Catoctin Wildlife Reserve in Maryland on 8/16/23.
A one eyed Garter Snake stalks his prey, hidden in a forest of Canadian Mayflowers.
Seen in Victoria Park, in Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada.
I don't want to overdo things with the snakes but we really only see them like this once a year when they leave their dens and mate before spending the summer in their home ranges. They can be seen returning to their dens in the Autumn but not in this posture...Western wandering garter snakes (Thamnophis elegans vagrans). Photo by Frank

Didn't see any snakes in Chile, except for this empty copper concentrate train train snaking down the s-curves at Gaviota siding near Prat behind a pair of GT42ACs.
After waiting at Florence for a couple hours, a very overdue manifest from Tracy to Huron continues its trip west toward South Dakota.
