Eastern Snakes Forum
[ Reply | Eastern Snakes Forum ]
To ask a question about a snake, don't reply to this post, go to the forum home page and start a new post. Your question will get a lot more exposure. Please give us an idea of where you live, as reptiles can often be identified only by locality!
Please do not place messages about killing a snake, and asking what kind it is you have killed! That is like going onto a message board about dogs and telling about torturing one to death, and asking what kind of breed it was. You will likely get "flamed", and likely by the forum owner, depending on his mood that day.
A note about head shape in snakes: Head shape is a totally useless character for identifying a snake, and has nothing to do with whether the serpent is or is not venomous (poisonous). Many harmless snakes, especially when young, have rather large heads. Please describe color, pattern, markings, and habitat where the snake was found. The shape of the head will not help us in any way.
Thank you.
Possible Eastern Kingsnake question

Hi, I have what looks like an Eastern King that has taken up residence under my porch. Black with yellow irregular bands, and big, at least 4 to 5 feet(he was curled up on my one good look so far, so thats a guestimate). The dogs are harassing him and tearing up the porch trying to get to him. Austrailian Cattledogs are part beaver I think and they are REALLY into getting to this guy. I dont mind having him around, but I am wondering if he wouldnt find less furry climes more to his taste. If I were to catch and move him across the street to the uninhabited wooded lot, would he stay or would he just come back to my porch? Any advice would be appreciated.
