I guess you'd now call the black snake a 'black-rattler.'

Location: Kansas | I watched a snake documentary on the National Geographics channel the other day and saw many instances of snakes eating other snakes. Pythons eat anything that will fit under their skin. Gruesome.

Location: Kansas | Black snakes I don't mind a bit....if they stay on their side of the road...and I'm on mine. Some girl on facebook took a video of a snake that was sunbathing on the road she was driving on....she stopped, dumped water all over him, and when he got mad.....she ran over him with her car.
Sorry but you're not cool for doing that! |

Location: Arizona | Looks like a King snake to me. They are awesome and eat rattlers all the time. I'm the crazy lady who will stop my car, get out, and move a non-venomous snake OUT of the road because I know 99.9% of people will run it over on purpose just because it's a snake. I love having bull or king snakes on my property because snakes are territorial and will keep the rattlers at bay. Although I did relocate a 6 foot Bull snake recently because he was continuing to hide out in my tool shed and I was afraid he might bite one of my kiddos, and at 6 feet long it would have hurt! Cool pic! |

No, it's a nonvenemous Texas Indigo Snake. I found the same exact picture online that says its a Texas Indigo. They are the longest snakes in the US though! |

Location: Lost in the corn of Iowa. | I think that it's a cool picture. But no offense if I see a big a** snake eating another snake, I'm not exactly sticking around to see what kind it is. Much less take a picture of it. No way!!! LOL!!  |

Location: Bandera, TX | I few years ago I had a very large rat snake living in my barn - they kill mice and such things so I was ok with that. I usually did not see him.... I was also ok with that.
Then we got some strong rains and every thing flooded. I went to slide open the door to my feed room and the snake fell on me. He was curled up on top of the door to get away from the moisture..... Yes,.... that was toe nail curling scary and gross and everything.... Apparently the snake felt the same way as he moved out that very day.... |

Whoop! I knew it was an indigo! When I went to school in Kingsville you could see them go across the highways every once in a while. big freaking snakes! |
