Snake ID

[trbii]

That kinky body looks like the rat snake pics I’ve been seeing on the Oklahoma Snake Identification Network posts’ on FB. Also seen a few yellow bellied racers, that color on top. Round eyes visible from above, on a small head seems to be one clue of non venomous.

OK... I've been in OK for 4 years and I've seen 1 snake before today. I just found this guy in front of my shop. He looks like what I've always called a bull snake. But he wasn't acting like I've seen bull snakes act. I have seen them puff out their "neck" like that, though. I picked him up with a rake and he opened his mouth really wide and a tan-colored liquid spewed out. and he started writhing really weirdly and trying to bite his own body. Never seen anything like it before.

I have seen one of these only once and it was on the 300 yard range in Ponca city I hope someone identifies it because I have no clue either

Eastern Hognose? Aka: Spreading Adder?

Yes I believe so. Also know as the drama noodle. That is my uneducated guess at least.

It is a hognose, that is their defense mechanism, appear sick/crazy. Even in the animal kingdom no one wants to fight crazy lol

I believe this is also a hog nose, but he’s pretty pale in color. I know what he ain’t, and that’s one of the 3 types I can readily identify, and in the end that’s what’s really important.

Rounded head and eyes generally means non venomous. Don’t mind snakes, they are usually not usual bothersome. Now spiders… the only good one is a dead one. Any that I see get the Texas two step haha. Also hate Spider-Man.
