DG Snake

Are you accusing the Garter of stealing your Seer?

LOL no. You would not believe the water rise from the time I lost it in a little ditch to just recently when we found it. A local river backed up and the tee sign closest to where the disc was lost only showed about 3" over the top of the water. I really thought I'd never see that disc again.

Give me the snakes over the winters any day. I do not know of a single person who has ever been bitten. I've only heard stories. None on a disc golf course.

Shoot. The wildlife here in the South is SO diverse, and not just reptiles. I love it. Its so much more fun during the spring then it was back in the Midwest. I'll keep the venomous snakes for yall, don't worry.

Cool to see some other disc golfers here who also love snakes! Makes me happy to know I'm not the only one. Haven't seen anything awesome around here yet, just the usual racers, garters, and water snakes.

Besides that one copperhead, that's all we see.

 

[Billy K2]

Probably not a good idea to pose with one of those things lol

Massasauga rattlesnake

Only two states don't have venomous snakes...AK and HI.

Although that may be true - there is definitely a difference. And in some areas (not states) there are none. There are large areas of NY with no venomous snakes, for example. Granted there are rattlers in a few places (some pieces of the adirondacks & souther tier), and i think the rare copperhead in places. Where I am at, however, I only ever see milk snakes and garter snakes.

 

[PMantle]

Milk? Man, I only know one person who has ever seen one. Even then, it may have been a Scarlet .

Massasauga rattlesnake

I have seen them at many courses on the west side of the state. Also at Kensington and Hudson Mills. Won't kill you, but man you would be pretty sorry for tangling with it.

Cutie patootie on Elon Eager #8. Blurry Hop Drop for scale. No idea what kind of snake.

 

[Spinthrift]

Pretty sure that's an Eastern Worm Snake, Rodney. I find them commonly in leaf piles or around flower bed mulch.

 

[DavidSauls]

Stoney Hill has plenty of snakes---this time of year, you can just about guarantee finding one if you look. In the 10 years we've been there we've identified at least 8 species, none of them venomous. Not to say we don't have any, but they're either fairyl rare, or shy.

 

[PMantle]

It's a Dekay's/Brown snake.

Not my picture but this big dude has been at Circle C in Austin for the last few years. You can usually find it him around holes 12 and 13. Hole 12 is also a common place to find rattlers if you get off the fairway. I've seen this thing multiple times. Luckily never had him above me like this dude did.

^whoa

What type of snake is that?

Unrelated to the above pics, I saw either a bull snake or a massasauga rattler at Camp Collum a couple of summers ago. I didn't get close enough to investigate further, as it went into striking pose and rattled its tail. My best guess was bull snake.
