Awesome and beautiful snakes. As docile as they come.

They get the pass from me as well.

Pretty one. One of my favorite snakes of all time.

I thought, on average, that they were larger than a Diamondback. I looked it up and just not true. Largest Canebrake is supposedly 74" and longest DB is 96". Seems like every Canebrake I see is big though. Area where our farm is, between Woodville and Colmesneil in East Texas has a healthy population. Sure make you pay attention when walking in the woods where everything on the ground matches a Canebrake's pattern.

There more massive in diameter; huge snakes. They just don’t get as long as a DB.
Thank goodness they are not super aggressive

[BTLowry]

I was told their primary diet was squirrels, looks like about a squirrel sized lump in it

Have seen a few here, they get a free pass as they never seem to be mad. Cottonmouths and copperheads on the other hand are always mad and they all get beheaded

I have seen some in Ganado.

Man I hate snakes.

Yes now I’m wondering how many I pasted by and never seen. I have a pair of snake boots for my wife’s side of the family’s lease in Three River’s but I will be wearing them a whole lot more at our place now. I walked to the bow blind in sandals a few weeks ago never again.

I'll tell you what really made me start paying attention. I was building a road through my place a few years ago and the people delivering and placing the base material told me the most chilling story about one of their own guys. They were doing a clearing job north of Colmesneil. It was before daylight and the crew arrived for work. Well, one ole boy's coffee kicked in and he had to go find a tree to squat against. Picked the wrong tree, because a big ole Canebrake bit him on either his fun stick or his kid bag, but either way it was a very, very, very bad situation. Now if that won't make you look real good while in the woods, nothing will.

It was about a 3 1/2 to 4 feet. It was laying on a pile of split oak. At that time, I did not think they were in that area of Texas. If driving from Edna - it was about 2 miles past the Morales Store.

Holy crap that would suck…
