I admit I know nothing about snakes and get the hegebiegees even thinking about them.

Can someone help identify this one?

Sorry, no close up of his head. No rattles so I let him pass.

I only going to get five to eight inches of rain here on the gulf coast.. hope it is one of those slow soaker,, cause everything here is already full.. the creeks and bayous are still up from the last rain.. a few days ago.. Well the good thing about it, is what my old grandpa said about rain,, He said it cleans the land.. course he lived on a mountain.. and I live on the gulf coast, so we gets all that cleaning I guess.. I thinking grandpa and me may disagree about that cleaning and where it runs too.. lol. stay dry but be sure to stay afloat.. . Lou

We are having a break in rain so, went out to check / dump rain gauges. A little over 2 1/2" so far. More coming.

We got right at 5 inches of rain in the last 8 hours. Seems to be a lull right now. We are in the middle of it now.
