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. Please post comments on THIS ARTICLE ONLY! To ask a question go here: Home

I am currently trying to figure out what type of snake is living in our home area. I admit to being terrified of snakes and I am trying to be snake friendly and learn about them. I live in Richmond, Missouri and yesterday I found a big, snake skin curled around one of our tiger lilies. I have a photo but am not sure how to post it. It is grayish black with a tan underskin. Of course it is very stretched. I am hoping for some sort of rat eater.
