Kentucky Snakes

[Rudypoo4444]

Coolest snake I've ever seen is the Rough Green Snake. It was about as round as a pencil and was maybe 2 to 3ft long. He was just making his way along through the greenery of some shrubs, going from shrub top to shrub. Saw him in Fulton while doing some survey work around the rail yard.

Also came eye to eye with a Mississippi Green Water Snake - was in the far reaches of west Ky along the Mississippi River doing a boundary survey for a wetland reserve. Was knee deep in kudzu and moving vines out of the way to see where I was going; went to reach for a vine to move it and the dang vine moved...wasn't a vine but a snake instead. It dropped to the ground, and I couldn't see the ground due to the kudzu. It was then that I decided surveying wasn't for me.

Dude, no disrespect, but I can't see how any hairy-chested American man can publically admit to being afraid of snakes. Especially a man from a state as MANLY as Kentucky. Are you afraid they are going to eat your toy poodle?

HA HA! I am just giving you a hard time. Everyone is afraid of something I guess.

You just never know what you may encounter in the wild. Several years ago I was fishing in Conoloway Creek on Nolin, using a T-rigged worm in shallow water. After a slow retrive I started bringing it back and got a real hard hit. I set the hook and when I did a snake came out of the water. It didn't have the spade head, or cresent eys but the body was red with black, almost sawtooth, bands. I had never seen one like it before and I didn't think it was poisenous but I cut the line anyhow and it swim away.

when I got home, I tried to find out what it was by doing a search on the computer. In the process of trying to indentify the snake, I had a flashback to Viet Nam, but that is a different story. Anyhow, I finally found out that it was a Susquehanna Water Snake, usually only found in Pennsylvania. Don't ask me how it got to Nolin, but the point is you never know what you may run accross. Somone probably brought it here and let it loose. who knows?

That is how I happened to know about the pamphlet.

On my way to deer stand several years in the dark and decided to take a shorter route around an old family grave site. Jumped a covey of quail. Left my underwear there!

Lmao!!! Been there man. I love snakes and won't kill one but I'll catch em if I can. Caught a rat snake last year and let my daughter hold it for a second but it eventually moved too much so she got a little skeert so I took it back.
Now if you want to get my full 100% attention get me around a spider. I'll kill that heartless thing in a heart beat!!!

You want scared--knock over some sandbags, right next to where you have been sleeping, and see a big nest of six inch, hairy, scorpians crawl all over your cot.

No problem, when you/we are talking about snakes and crawly things the thread can lead anywhere.
