More for ky knowledge, its dead already since i wasn’t there to deal
With it, my in laws dispatched it being that it was in the house.

I have a feeling its a bullsnake juvenile, but not totally convinced. What say you?

Sorry if the pic is lame, was a text sent to me.

You know, there are a lot of people who have been here and who knows what doors have been left open or anything. I have been fighting a mouse issue for a long time, ever since a family reunion happened and doors were left open over night!

I guess there was another pic which showed a little more bronze-ish strip down its back which suggests maybe a pygmy rattlesnake….this is southern OK not TX.

I think it's a hognose, but I am definitely no expert.

Nevermind - saw your updated post and think pigmy could be it. Hopefully there aren't more. peep

Again, apologize for the pic, not mine…

Western Pygmy is very similar.

Neat snake....whatever it is.

Yet somehow telling the in laws to:
1. Not eat in the house except in the kitchen
2. Keep all the doors shut and dont leave them open

Makes me the bad guy. Its friggin insanity.

If you had 3 or 4 of them yes.

Typically a small snake. But a pretty hide, no doubt about that.
