That one's a beauty Bead. Those garters love their frogs and toads.

Sorry to steal your thread BJ , but since everyone else is showing off snakes here is one I found in Sister and Sally's kennel day before yesterday, guess I saved it and it went under the shed when I turned it loose, not sure what kind it is, never really seen one colored up like this before, any ideas ?
Pretty thing all the same and very gentle.  ;) :)

No problem Pappy, or anyone else. Love all the pictures. I'm not much of a snake expert can't help you identify em but that stone looks very knapable from here.

Looks like a bull, Pappy. I've also seen hognose with that pattern, but the body makes me think bull snake.

Thanks Scott, Will said he thought it was a hognose by the picture, just strange I have never seen one like that before , and have been on the farm for close to 60 years and seen a lot of snakes, must be pretty rare around our parts.  :-\

Yes they are. I have 4 different hognose skins I've collected from different states and not a single match between em. The head would have told the final story.

Not sure, I don't know much about snakes - But look kinda like a rebar iron snake, some what related to jackalope, mugwumps, and yeti ;) ;)!  Seriously, it does look a bit like the pattern on the rebar, laid too close while catching some rays??
