A few photos I shot recently in North Texas. They are so peaceful, but can be so deadly. 2015 Albert Moyer

This breed of snake has some really nice colors.  One of the prettiest I have seen.

This is why I never see too much above my head, or sometimes even in front of me when hiking in the South. You always have to be wary of poisonous snakes below.

I slither and seek

My copper pattern warns you

Please don’t tread on me.

This photo was taken by me at the Houston Arboretum.  Many people confuse these for water moccasins or cottonmouths. This snake is harmless.

Thank heavens this was taken at the Houston Zoo, and this rattler was behind glass. He even looks mean! These snakes are so deadly, and if not deadly, they will leave scarring devastation. When in Texas tread lightly in the wild, and always be on the look out.
