ctafoya Report post Posted yesterday at 05:38 AM Coaght another night snake in the yard. Had a 4ft bullsnake a few weeks ago. Construction is driving them into the hood. My wife is displeased he is in a bucket inside the bathtub so I can relocate him tomorrow. I have a soft spot for snakes. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmer Negamanee Report post Posted yesterday 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.

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
