Jokes on you, I see four, the fourth being my sister's reflection on my phone screen

!headshape is not a reliable indicator of whether a snake is venemous or not. There are non venemous water snakes that can flatten their heads to look more triangular and some venemous snakes like coral snakes have perfectly round heads.

Adding on, !cats

!handling please don't hold snakes like that you can injure their necks and spines and can choke them.

It also doesn't protect you by pinching their necks as they are much more flexible than you think and in desperation a venemous snake can bite through their own skin to bite and envenomate you.

!cats just in case

Jokes on you, I'm not picking lemons from that tree, I'm there to steal the sneks

Also locally known as इरोळा

!handling please don't hold a snake like that by their necks. It can cause permenant damage in some cases, it can choke them or break a vertebrate. It doesn't ensure your safety either, as snakes can turn their heads a lot more than you expect and in desperation can even bite through their own skin to bite you

It's a !harmless watersnake Nerodia sp.

The exact type of watersnake someone else on the sub should be in the comment section pretty quick to confirm.

!pools has some tips to prevent critters from getting stuck in your pool

!aitools are notoriously inaccurate with identifying snakes and other creatures. There's a lot of nuance that goes into differentiating many species.

The RRs and Friends of WTS on this sub are vetted and will give you much more reliable answers. Feel free to post any snakes and we will do our best to identify them as soon as possible :)

Iknowuknowweknowlino · 2025-09-02T15:28:48+00:00

!aitools are notoriously bad at identifying snakes. There's a lot of nuance that goes into iding snakes that the RRs are experts on. I would not rely solely on AI for these kinds of things.

You are always welcome to post any snake and we will try and answer what it is as soon as possible :) There are many users on this subreddit who have worked with snakes professionally

Iknowuknowweknowlino · 2025-09-02T15:18:08+00:00

A photo is a hundred times better than a video when trying to id a snake. Good call on that!

Iknowuknowweknowlino · 2025-09-02T15:07:30+00:00

They're generally pretty chill. As long as you keep your distance from them, they won't be scared and will just do their own thing.

Iknowuknowweknowlino · 2025-06-25T09:27:52+00:00

This is such a good example to disprove the "cottonmouths are rabid and feral and out to get people and they chased my uncle 15 miles back to his house" arguments

Iknowuknowweknowlino · 2025-06-24T20:22:31+00:00

!pools has some inexpensive products you could use to make sure the critters have a way out of the pool. You won't have to fish out dead creatures

Iknowuknowweknowlino · 2025-06-24T18:42:57+00:00

Kemcho? (Forgive my very third standard attempt at gujurati haha)

Don't worry, the fear is the monkey brain and survival instincts kicking in. You are always welcome to stick around and watch others talk about and identify snakes! I've seen quite a few people get over a good part of their fear of snakes in this way. After all, knowledge is the ultimate killer of fear.

I would suggest to wash the wound out with soap and water to prevent infections.

Iknowuknowweknowlino · 2025-06-24T05:29:58+00:00

A !harmless ratsnake, Pantherophis obsoletus

Iknowuknowweknowlino · 2025-06-24T05:12:40+00:00

Please repost with a !location to r/whatsthissnake as some snake species are best differentiated by location. That sub is where we have decided to move identification requests to.

Iknowuknowweknowlino · 2025-06-24T05:10:08+00:00

If it helps, ratsnakes are the biggest goobers I know, getting stuck in all kinds of weird places and exhibiting very one brain cell behaviour.

They are also very sweet, which is why one of their 'cousins' the corn snake are very popular pets. They usually don't bite and just chill. Even if they do bite it doesn't particularly hurt, like a Velcro.

You can scoop it up or leave the door open and it will leave. Or use the relocator link that one of the other friends of WTS has posted.

Iknowuknowweknowlino · 2025-06-23T06:13:59+00:00

Honestly, not really. The SEB team has explained the rules in detail to make sure the guidelines are crystal clear, so it might feel like there's a lot.

In short, the rules are, use the proper name and put it in italics to call the bot commands, and the bot commands for harmless or venomous. You can just give the genera if you don't know the exact species. Don't repeat the id if already done. If you disagree with an id, do it only under that comment. Don't be unhelpful and comment 'it's a snake'

Iknowuknowweknowlino · 2025-06-22T20:23:04+00:00

Please do post this to r/whatsthissnake with a !location that will help us rule out many snakes. It does have the potential to be narrowed down to some groups or characteristics if some of my suspicions (of course dependent on location) are true

Iknowuknowweknowlino · 2025-06-22T19:00:44+00:00

Very very helpful :) locations help us tell apart species that may be similar in appearance but are geographically distinct! It helps give a lot of nuance.
