Timber. They always remind me of Tiger stripe camo from Vietnam.

I saw one killed up here like that and Ramsey said it was a timber. He was right and the location does not make sense, but the colors look right for a nope rope.

That is certainly not a Timber. The head is too small and thin for venomous. A closer inspection would help. I'm thinking a Diamondback water snake or Common water snake. It was probably seen near a water source. We have multiple just like these at the ponds in our neighborhood.

I've handled several large ones. Look an the end of the tail...black! Bands look nothing like a water snake. Additionally, the size is considerably larger than a water snake.

I'm decent identifying Texas snakes. I was torn between the Timber and some form of water snake. This was taken by a walker and posted on the neighborhood page. It is not far from a creek and a busy park on the McKinney/Frisco line. If they figure out what it is the people will be scared for their life.

Most likely a conservative snake

If it isn't white it is not a birddog.

Lying is lying. Don't bitch about one doing it and condone another. That's called hypocrisy.

Most likely a conservative snake Resilient, self reliant, passive, and just want others to leave them the hell alone! I concur!
