Here's a diamond back water snake from a few years ago.

The largest one I've personally dispatched was over seven feet long. They can get pretty aggressive, so any that wander close up to the house or barn get a hole in 'em.

That is a pretty big one also, and no dang trick photography like putting fish or animal way in front of you in pic to make it look bigger !

He looked a lot friendlier after I vented his head. :D

:thumbsup: I don't bother non-venomous snakes. But If I saw something like that, I would be running for the 12 gauge as fast as I could go.!

I liberated five snakes that morning fishing. Three diamond back water snakes and two cottonmouths. My daughter and I caught seven large mouth bass, so at least the fish outnumbered the belly crawlers!

Speaking of snakes...this morning my blue healer followed my inlaws back down the road a ways to their house. The dog promptly discovered a six foot rat snake right outside their back door. The healer is pretty amazing. She kills everything that doesn't belong. There's a constant flow of carcasses around here...field mice, rabbits, snakes and birds. She gives the mice to the lazy a** cat and eats the rest. :laughing:
