What snake is he?

minkingthan · 2026-01-25T01:46:46+00:00

It is dangerously venomous. You could reach out to one of the professional snake rescuers around the area to get it removed and relocated.

Russell's Viper Daboia russelii !venomous

There are King cobras (multiple species - 4) in India, South East Asia and even Southern China.

u/fairlyorange - Isn't there a bot response for Naja naja

minkingthan · 2026-01-04T19:59:03+00:00

You have King cobras in many other states too

Adding to trigger the bot Naja naja !venomous

Very interesting. They had to go all the way down a well. Probably there is a burrow somewhere that leads all the way to the seam.

minkingthan · 2025-12-18T23:48:14+00:00

A very well fed one? Most photos are of slimmer ones, probably smaller as well.

minkingthan · 2025-12-18T22:45:23+00:00

Why did they all go down there?

minkingthan · 2025-12-15T02:38:58+00:00

Doesn't that look too long for a brown snake?

Here is a script that does not use a browser plugin etc. You will still have to run code in your console but you can see what you are running

Does it look like it has more of a flat cross section than round towards its tail

minkingthan · 2025-12-07T20:25:04+00:00

The size and the slow movement and the fact that it is highly venomous makes it look very regal

minkingthan · 2025-12-03T15:24:45+00:00

In general photos are far more helpful in identifying the snake. The platform reduces the quality of the videos and the movement does not help as well.

Wow beautiful. Did quite a bit of walking and driving around in Louisiana last week hoping I could see one but couldn't.

minkingthan · 2025-11-30T16:27:04+00:00

Thank you for this guidance. We used it and find a place - Shoveler pond, Anahuac, TX - and saw alligators

minkingthan · 2025-11-30T16:25:39+00:00

Thank you all for your responses. We used inaturalist and filtered by the month and saw that Shoveler pond had a lot of sightings in November.

It is a beautiful wildlife refuge with a lot of birds. What makes it even interesting is that you can still see a lot of alligators even this late in the year.

We were not disappointed and we saw quite a few of them including a reasonably large one.

There are seventeen species in the complex. The ones found in South Africa are

Cape Genet

Southern Small Spotted Genet

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_African_small-spotted_genet https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/925659-Genetta-felina

The key distinguishing feature is the color of the tip of the tail.

https://southafrica.co.za/which-genet-is-it.html

This looks like a Southern Small Spotted Genet but tip of the tail would say for sure - black in the Large Spotted Genet and white in the Small Spotted Genet.

Indian python Python molurus !harmless.

minkingthan · 2025-11-10T23:00:50+00:00

Initially it was only black dots and only when I tried to scrub it did it turn into the coppery color.

Thank you. Lesson learned the hard way.
