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!

As this small snake was crossing the trail I stepped in front of it to try and prevent it from going back into the tall grass. It stopped for a few seconds, long enough for me to get off a few shots before it went on its way. In the field I thought it was a brown snake, but when I looked at it closely when I got home I found it was a lined snake, a new species for my prairie wildlife species set. You just never know what you might see on a walk in the park.
The lined snake is semifossorial, spending most of its time hiding under rocks, leaf litter, logs, or buried in the soil. The majority of the diet of T. lineatum consists of earthworms.

The Anhinga, sometimes called the SnakeBird, Dater, American Darter, or Water Turkey, is a water bird of the warmer parts of the Americas. The word Anhinga comes from Brazilian Tupi language and means Devil Bird or Snake Bird.
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.

Snaking through the multiple curves east of Summit, Montana, a Burlington Northern Santa Fe grain train traverses Marias Pass on September 9, 1999. Up front is an eclectic group of motive power led by BNSF warbonnet GE C44-9W No. 781. Trailing the 781 is a former Santa Fe LRCX C30-7, a Burlington Northern C30-7, a Santa Fe EMD SD45-2B, and finally, another Dash 9 in Heritage II paint.

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.

Grass Snake / natrix helvetica. 09/07/22.
A close encounter with a Grass Snake. I think they are less 'angry looking' than Adders!

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.

Snake wine is an alcoholic beverage produced by infusing whole snakes in rice wine or grain alcohol. The drink was first recorded to have been consumed in China during the Western Zhou dynasty and considered an important curative and believed to reinvigorate a person according to Traditional Chinese medicine. It can be found in China, Goa (India), Vietnam, and throughout Southeast Asia.
The snakes, preferably venomous ones, are not usually preserved for their meat but to have their "essence" and snake venom dissolved in the liquor. The snake venom poses no threat to the drinker. It is denatured by the ethanol—its proteins are unfolded and therefore inactive and would be denatured by stomach acid anyway. [Wikipedia]

The Short-toed Eagle (Circaetus gallicus), also known as the Short-toed Snake Eagle, is a specialist predator renowned for its fearless battles with serpents across Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Snakes make up 80% or more of its diet. It hunts both non-venomous and venomous species, including vipers and cobras.
Built-in Armour: Its namesake "short toes" and thick, reinforced scales on its legs act like natural armour to protect it from deadly snake bites during a struggle.
Aerial Hovering: Unlike most large eagles, it can hover mid-air like a kestrel while scanning the ground for movement, sometimes at heights up to 500 meters.

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.
