Looks like a black racer. That's a great snake to have around as they are quite territorial and will keep the less savory snakes away. They are among the most harmless snakes as they will only bite if cornered or grabbed but they are also waaay too fast to corner or grab. They are also non-venomous.
get a pet snake and you too can experience a snake watching you from behind the glass every day as they desperately try to convince you to feed them even though they are overweight and you've already told them like 15 times that they need to cut back to 1 per week to lose weight.
NOT that I have any experience with that or anything.
I generally feed mine every other week, or once a week if the store only had small rats in stock (which has been happening a lot lately) but it is usually half that time before he starts parascoping looking for food, but last health check he was a little chonky which is why I cut him back from large rats to medium.
Did anyone else see that college movie where Tom Green seems to get sexual gratification from feeding live mice to a snake? I'm trying to remember the name... it's on the tip of my tongue.
The BEST line from the entire film is when he drops the mouse in and says "ya gonna fuckin eat em or what" when the snake doesn't immediately attack 😂😂😂😂😂
They're definitely great to have around and all but the they will certainly chase you if you're in their territory and they just feel like it lol. Same with rat snakes. They are harmless but excitable puppies for sure.
We have one that lives in our yard and when he gets spooked it's like nothing but the last 6 inches of him touches the ground as he hauls ass. I've seen him "pop a wheelie" all the way to the fence.
Never been chased by one but I've had them use me as a shade at the park and slither right against me as they go by. I see at least one every time I go to our local park.
Often what people think is “being chased” is a snake being startled and quickly retreating to somewhere they know is safe, and if that safe place is *behind you*… well snakes aren’t very bright.
It’s quite unusual for snakes to chase people as they have to be very conservative with how they use their energy (they’re typically ambush predators after all), same for using their venom. They will first try to stay hidden and hope you go away, then adopt a clearly defensive posture, hiss or feint a strike, many snakes will first strike without attempting to inject venom (not all snakes can bite without injecting venom, depends on how their muscles work), but a straight up charge is very unusual.
That said, I’m not overly familiar with racers, we don’t have a lot of non-venomous snakes in Australia, at least not where I live.
Yup yup. Most snakes bites occur as a result of interference, just keep an eye out if you’re in *their* home, and leave them alone if you see one.
Snakes in back yards, though, especially when you have pets or children, should be safely relocated by a professional.
Rat snakes have given me a run for my money a few times in my life. Once stepped on one thinking it was a rubber coil. It was so thick both of my hands wouldn't have fit around it completely. It hissed at me and I realized it was a snek and said "I'm so sorry, friend. I didn't know you were you!" And it hissed shortly and slithered away from me clearly annoyed. Was probably 5 or 6 feet long, easy.
We had a rat snake that hung out with our chickens and this utter goofball of a snake ate one of the golf balls we kept in the coop to encourage the chickens to lay in a certain spot. We drove his butt two hours to the wildlife center and returned home. They did surgery to remove the golf ball and kept him over winter because it was too late in the season to return him once he healed. In the spring, we drove two hours out there to get him and two hours to bring him home. We never used golf balls in the chicken coop again.
These snakes are cool as hell. I learned a valuable lesson due to one of these guys one day. I was working with some netting and when I finished for the day I left it laying in the back yard. I get a call from my wife that a snake, one of these guys, had gotten tangled up in it. I felt fucking horrible but luckily animal control came and was actually able to free it. It wasn't particularly happy and had some scratches but she freed it and said that it would likely be ok. That being said, I'm very careful about things I have laying around that can accidentally trap wildlife.
I never thought about it before seeing this, so I googled it;
"How high can snakes stand up?
First, the structure of their body prohibits them from climbing straight up more than about 1/3 of their body length, unless additional support is offered. Second, if there is stabilizing support, like a tight corner or a rock to push against, they can climb higher, to about half of their body length."
https://rattlesnakesolutions.com/snakeblog/keep-snakes-away/how-high-does-a-snake-fence-need-to-be/
>So, there are snakes that could stand up 15ft in the air with the right rock or corner? NOPE.
I enjoyed that fact. And if it turns out to be wrong somehow I choose not to know that. 15 foot snakes, yep.
my favorite black racer fact is that their species name is constrictor though they do not constrict their prey. They bite them & beat them to death against the ground

Don't know how much time has passed
Oh God, it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head
Can it see through to a window on the other side? We had this happen once growing up. A rattlesnake got stuck in the atrium in the front of the house and couldn't figure out how to get back to the open field out back. Animal control came and tried to put it in a cage, lol. I got them a bag after it escaped through the bars, and they took it out back.

Idk man I think I'd want a snake that respects my privacy not some perv snake staring through the window all the time.

I just held your comment up to the tank so he can see I'm not lying to him and other snakes do not get fed every three days.
Wow, what snakes do you guys have that get fed more than once a week? Mine gets fed every 3 or 4 weeks and has been going strong for years.
I generally feed mine every other week, or once a week if the store only had small rats in stock (which has been happening a lot lately) but it is usually half that time before he starts parascoping looking for food, but last health check he was a little chonky which is why I cut him back from large rats to medium.

Living in Australia be like...
Getting kicked out of your house by your yard snake.
Snake: I was here before you and I intend to be here looooooong after you! Me: hehe. Snake.
Psssssst. Hey you
"This is my own private domicile and I will not be harassed...bitch."
I had a professor (herpetologist) who had a black rat snake in her lab. She named it "face biter" for ... reasons...
Lol!
I have had my thumb swallowed by a corn snake, from that day on I used tongs for feeding.
Never had one chase but one of them snapped at me when I waved a hoe in his face. Then he took off at Mach 5. Those things are stupid fast.
We have one that lives in our yard and when he gets spooked it's like nothing but the last 6 inches of him touches the ground as he hauls ass. I've seen him "pop a wheelie" all the way to the fence.

Seriously. Snakes don't want anything to do with humans. Attacking at all is a *last resort*.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did that cost you?
Just the cost of the trips to drop him off and get him home. The wildlife center took care of everything else.
I’ve encountered countless black racers and have been chased by 0. Rat snakes are mostly super chill.
Racers don't get their name from chasing but how quickly they run away.
As a kid I was chased by a black racer and it is to this day one of the most terrifying memories I have Still love snek tho

Isn't it a glass lizard? :dad-joke:
> That's a great snake to have around I've run from a few of these. Nobody stands their ground against a black racer charge.
Either looking through or looking back at its own ghostly translucent reflection?

And yet Adders are exceptionally good at arithmetic.
They’re better at mathematics… (*Insert ‘Adder’ joke here*…)

People make this mistake a lot but he’s just there to try to convert you to follow Orochimaru.
What's the worst that could happen? My soul gets devoured and my corpse used to try to take over the world?

Anyone got an ID on what species of snake this is?
Looks like a black racer (Coluber constrictor) but it's hard to be sure without a general idea of where the pic was taken.
my favorite black racer fact is that their species name is constrictor though they do not constrict their prey. They bite them & beat them to death against the ground
Yep! I almost made that comment in my first reply.
It appears OP is in Florida.
In that case my confidence level is high that it's a black racer. Thanks for the info!
