Jimmer Negamanee Report post Posted Wednesday at 01:31 PM Cool snake! He's now part of your rodent reduction force! My neighbors called in a panic because there was a snake it their pool skimmer. I went over and pulled this little fella out. I think it's a groundsnake (Sonora semiannulata according to the online field guide Reptiles and Amphibians of Arizona). Groundsnake seems like a weird name for a snake, kinda like naming a bird and airbird. : ) Apparently goundsnakes eat insects ans scorpions so my other neighbor was happy to have it released in his back yard. Thanks for posting! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for posting! Definitely a ground snake. When I was in grad school road cruising for Mohave rattlesnakes for my research, I used to run into these. There are at least three different color morphs and I found all three in a mile stretch of road one night out near Vulture Mine (Vulture Mine Road?). Love those little guys. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for posting! Pretty snake. Reminds me of a Corn Snake. I had lots of snakes as a kid. One year my dad suprised me with a 4' Florida Indigo that he probably ordered out of the back of Outdoor Life. I fed it Garter Snakes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember the first time I found a night snake, I was in my teens. He was a very young , fisty little guy. I snuck him in the house and then he got out of the tank somehow. Eventually had to tell my parents and they lost theirs minds.... lol Cool little snakes, usually very Docile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HyNoon Report post Posted 5 hours ago *^*^Update for the total for the night on our drive.... 5 total Also saw a small sidewinder on the road tonight too. He got shoed off cause I've been told their population is declining... not sure if that is true or not.... but I don't see them as much as I used to so it made sense to me. Then not even a quarter mile later, I saw a long nose snake that didn't make it across the road . And I didn't get any pictures unfortunately. Next time... 1 Gopher - dead 1 Night Snake - dead 2 side winders - 1 dead 1 alive 1 long nose - dead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
