Maybe some kind a python.

My thought too. Somebody's escaped or released pet that was eating them out of roof and wallet.

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

Timber Rattler

Timber Rattlesnake 100%, not a pet uless you like danger noodles

Very interesting considering the location

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.

Maybe the snake will be at the Byron Nelson golf tournament

That’s a big one.

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.

Diamondback water snake



Common water snake

Incorrect. It is a timber rattlesnake. 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.

timberrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Tail fades to black plus the pattern…Timber Rattler. Kill that sucker before it can hurt someone.

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.

Water snake .

Those of you that say water snake I would love to pull up a chair and watch you pick her up.

Most likely a conservative snake

Yup…

In my experience with them they are comparatively docile, very well camouflaged, and secretive. Most folks walk right by never knowing they just had an encounter with a venomous snake….

Resilient, self reliant, passive, and just want others to leave them the hell alone! I concur!

Timber rattler

Yup.
More snakes have probably seen me,than I have seen snakes.

I’m still torn but since rattle snakes in general are kind of unheard of around here, I’m leaning towards common water snake. A head shot would be the tell all

Bingo! The chevrons and black tail give it away. Saw a big one like that dead on the road up in Sherman in front of my sisters place a few years back.
