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!
Anhingas are nicknamed "snake bird" due to their habit of surfacing after a dive with only their long neck and beak exposed, appearing very snake-like in the water. On Horsepen Bayou they are quite skittish and rarely linger on a perch when paddlers approach but this bird held her ground (well, stump) as I was passing and only reluctantly crossed a narrow channel to another nearby branch.
The albino corn snake is a color morph bred from the common corn snake (Pantherophis guttatus) Corn snakes are a species of snake in the rat snake family that live in the eastern United States. They have slender, orange or brownish-yellow bodies with a pattern of large, red blotches outlined in black down their backs. Corn snakes are popular as pets because they have a variety of different colors and patterns.
On/Off - Thank you so much for visiting my photos! I'd appreciate your comment, as this will make it easier for me to catch up with you!
I nearly ran over this Garter snake this week while cycling 230 km in Quebec. It was stretched out on a cycle path, soaking up the sun. After posing for a few photos, it slithered away into the bushes. Garter snakes are harmless to humans, unless you try to pick one up-then they may bite.
Thanks very much for the visit!
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.

I composed this photograph while visiting the City of Idaho Falls. It is of the Snake River as it courses through the City and down a man-made waterfall near the City's centre. The City's lovely Mormon Temple dominates its skyline , but is scarcely visible in the background.
Grass Snake / natrix helvetica. 09/07/22.
Head details of a Grass Snake, that was only partially submerged on the waters edge. Its black and yellow collar is very conspicuous too.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
The Snake River Canyon (also known as the Grand Canyon) is formed by the Snake River in western Wyoming, United States, south of Jackson Hole. The Snake River cuts through a fold and thrust belt on its way from Hoback, Wyoming to Alpine, Wyoming. The North American Plate has pushed against the Farallon Plate to create many geologic features including the folds and thrusts visible in the Snake River Canyon in Wyoming.

6913 empty ore train to Wirrida snakes its way around the Wirrappa S bend with GWA006,GWA002 and GWA003 trailing in DP mode on 26-10-13
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.
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

I spotted this cottonmouth when it moved off of the log it was sunning on. Notice how much it is on top of the water, which is characteristic of this species of snake.

The cape cobra, seen in the Los Angeles zoo :)
The Cape cobra (Naja nivea), also called the yellow cobra, is a moderate-sized, highly venomous species of cobra inhabiting a wide variety of biomes across southern Africa, including arid savanna, desert and semidesert regions. The species is diurnal and is a feeding generalist, preying on a number of different species and carrion. It reaches a length of 1.2 to 1.5 m. The color of these snakes is very variable, from yellow through golden brown to dark brown and even black. When disturbed and brought to bay, the Cape cobra raises its forebody off the ground, spreads a broad hood, and may hiss loudly. This snake is regarded as one of the most dangerous species of cobra in all of Africa, by virtue of its potent venom and frequent occurrence around houses.

Żółta kobra, pstryknięta w zoo w Los Angeles :)
Kobra przylądkowa (Naja nivea), zwana też kobrą żółtą – gatunek jadowitego węża z rodziny zdradnicowatych z rodzaju Naja. Występuje wyłącznie w Południowej Afryce, gdzie zamieszkuje suche sawanny, pustynie i regiony półpustynne. Gatunek ten prowadzi dzienny tryb żerowania i żeruje na wielu różnych gatunkach i padlinie. Osiąga długość od 1,2 do 1,5 m. Ubarwienie tych węży bywa bardzo zmienne od jednolicie żółtego do ciemnobrązowego z czarnymi cętkami. Zaniepokojona i stłumiona kobra przylądkowa unosi przednie ciało nad ziemię, rozkłada szeroki kaptur i może głośno syczeć. Kobra przylądkowa jest uważana za jeden z najniebezpieczniejszych gatunków kobry w całej Afryce ze względu na jej silny jad i częste występowanie w pobliżu domów.
