You sure that's not an Eastern Diamondback? I saw one in Florida; them suckas are huge! (And I bloody well wouldn't pick one up.)

I’m 100% certain it’s not a snake belonging to the Crotalus genus, or even in the entire Viperidae family. I’m also 100% certain that it belongs to the Pantherophis genus and is specifically the p. Spiloides. Slightly keeled scales, round pupils and at the end of the ventral scales is the scale over the cloacal the tail scales ( subcaudal scales ) are double rowed. Color scheme is gray and black with reddish hints under the keeled portions that show up when moving. I use to visit this same snake for around 4 years where it lived in a specific giant log until the unfortunately created a road about 20 feet behind this part to connect to a new rv camping ground. I’ve handled around 30 different species of snakes in Alabama and Florida and well over a 1,000 different snakes in the last 10 years. My goal is to find the roughly 56 species and subspecies of snakes in Alabama and handle them including the pit vipers and corals.

Here is another cool snake. It’s the eastern hog nose and only mildly venomous. It can cause a very painful bite and swelling, like fingers can sweet and fingernails die and stuff. It’s a very dramatic snake and it’s amusing to see them.



Also it’s perfectly fine. Their defense mechanism is to go slack, hold mouth open, and try to rotate belly up.

I've been watching the show Alone on Tubi (free, just load app or go to website). It's a survivor type competition and the winner wins $500,000 I think. Each contestant gets dropped off in the wilderness far from each other and must survive... building shelter, catching food, etc. You can bring 10 items with you.

The first two seasons were in British Columbia, Canada. The third season I'm now watching is filmed in Patagonia, South America.

Have you ever thought about doing something like that?
