[ 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.

Hi I live on the midcoast of Maine. I was on my mail route and saw a weird looking snake in the road . I thought what a strange place for a fake snake it was right by a horse farm. So I got out and took my cell phone and took a pic. of it. know one I talked to could figure it out so maybe you can. It was gray and black marking very nice marking with a thick yellow stripe from its neck down. it also looked like its tail was cut off with a little stub at the end. and yellow eyes his head was trianle, big . the head was up about 2in. off the ground. I haven't seen it since still looking. please help if you can we all are wondering. Thank You Sherri B.
