re: 2025 West Texas snake trip

This year I’m doing a trip every month from Feb. thru Sept. or Oct. - each between 1-2 weeks long. This year I’m pretty much splitting time between Florida and Texas, plus one trip to Arizona next month, but next year I’ll branch out more and try some new states.

That coachwhip looks cool.

Both of the Trans-Pecos snakes are good looking snakes.
I tubed a Trans-Pecos Ratsnake in a herpetology class once upon a time.

Super high on my wish list. I’m told they’re easiest to find in the spring. I was looking for indigos in south Texas when I found the coyote pups back in April.

I catch them from time to time pretty much year around.

Let me guess... when you played Mutual of Omaha, you were always Jim.

Every time you post one of these, I see at least one snake I did not know existed. There are way more rattlesnakes than I thought.

Do you ever encounter Mojave Green rattlesnakes in West Texas?
Posted on 7/14/25 at 7:06 pm to 308
I found one last September but I lost it in the rocks so didn’t get good pics. . Two of my friends each got a Mojave this trip but I wasn’t with either of them at the time - some nights we each went in different directions.

You know it.
My childhood friend who accompanies me on many trips is more the Marlon type.

That’s not a broad banded copper head?
Posted on 7/14/25 at 8:58 pm to TigrrrDad
Great pics but to heck with the rattle snakes and the copperhead. Nope nope nope. I only pick up nonvenomous snakes.

Technically, yes.
Until recently, broadbanded & Trans-Pecos were considered two distinct subspecies. But now genetic studies say they are the same, just with regional phenotypic variations in appearance. But frick that - if it’s West of the Pecos River, it’s still a Trans-Pecos copper to me.
