Me and the family went to a very popular place up the road called Bills Catfish, mmmmm was it good! Well, since we weren't far from lake waurika, we decided to go over there and pay a visit. To get there though, and go back, we had to go down this dirt road. Well low and behold was this guy! Needless to say, I slammed on the brakes, threw it in reverse and got it! pour sucker never had a chance. So my question is, can anyone identify it? A buddy of mine thinks it may be related to the racer family. As far as I could tell it want anything poisoness

It looks like a Bullsnake to me. They come in a variety of different colors ranging from light tran to almost black, but they all have a similar pattern. They're good snakes to have around if you live in an area that has venomous snakes.

I second the Bull snake. General rule for venomous especially vipers is a large flat triangular head and even more a dead give-away elliptical eyes. Looks like the eyes are round. Sure looks like a nice skin though :wink:
 
this is the closest I could find that it resemblea with respect to the pattern. A Blotched water snake.

it does look similar to a bull snake, but in this area they trends to be more of a yellow and brown tone. It does have round eyes too and not a diamond shaped head

I think its a hybrid. It's 4-5 JR Gents, mixed with 2-3 Gran Torino's, with just spinkling of 1 or 2 sierras.
 
I figured it out! the earlier picture I posted of the juvenile blotched water snake also shows an adult and I believe it to be a match! So I answered myself, its a Blotched Water Snake

Dang Seamus, mighty quick with the prep work.

I bet you had that skin all wrapped around some tubes before you even got the sucker home.

Nice haul....
 
You didn't say you went to Bills Catfish, so I want tell you I was in Wichita while you were doing your quarter cutting video. I likes me some Bills.
 
This snake is very similar to an existing here in Brazil we call
Mussurama (Bothrops clelia eats) it is a snake inofensssiva humans put
fatal to the other snakes
His favorite food are the rattlesnakes, urutus, pit vipers and other species
His enemy is the unique coral snakes whose venom is fatal to her
