***SNAKES STILL VERY MUCH OUT

[hoghntr]

Had to go to Vegas over weekend and on return trip pulled off road west of Wickenburg and heard a noise im more than familiar with when i opened door.. about a 4 foot Green Mojave Rattler was by the creosote i intended on watering so i left that 1 for him... Quail hunters beware!!! stay safe and happy hunting!

Shot one with bb gun in my back yard. I missed the first shot and then it actually came towards me, aggresive. Second shot silenced it.

Last night was the first night in 8 days that I have not seen a snake.

I found this little guy out quail hunting Saturday in the San Tan area. Good thing his parents weren't around. Plenty of birds though.

That is an adult Tucson shovel nosed snake, they are harmless. nice spot!

Red meets yellow kill a fellow, I'm thinking coral snake.

western shovel nose.

I had no idea there were so many "mildly venomous" snakes in az. besides rattlers and corral snakes which are very venomous.

when I was a kid I would pick up all kinds as long as it wasn't a rattler or red on yellow!

this website shows pictures of a wide variety of snakes in AZ.

not sure about the info given on here whether it's been verified but cool pics.

One of the best ways to identify any snake in AZ.

I did find a rattler trying to crawl under another hunters truck today and a ring necked snake that spit up half of a baby gopher snake when I picked it up to take pictures.

Spent the morning in the rain, then a cold wind. I was chilled all day. Then on the way out I found a Mohave. Hopefully this next cold snap will chase them into their dens.

The Sonoran Shovel-nosed Snake's light snout distinguishes it from the similar looking Sonoran Coralsnake which has a black snout.

 

Hard to tell...
