While we lived in Missouri I found everything from Osage Copperheads, Timber Rattlesnakes, King Snakes, Rat Snakes, Worm Snakes, Midland Browns, Garters, Ring-necks, etc.

Here are a few of my favorite photos I shot. Please keep in mind, I had a cheap kodak at the time.


Eastern Yellow-bellied Racer (Coluber constrictor flaviventris)


Diamond-backed Water Snake (Nerodia rhombifer rhombifer)


Pair of Eastern Garter Snake (Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis)


Western Worm Snake (Carphophis vermis)


Black Rat Snake (Elaphe obsoleta)

I have more pictures, but I didn't want to flood the thread.
