What kind of Florida snake was this
Caught this snake trying to eat some eggs from the guineas in the yard.Turned it into a 4 course dinner for the Eagle we have flying around. Pic has the 2 middle pieces in in the wrong spot.

- the good kind.....DEAD!
- My guess is water snake,but im no expert,even though I stayed at a Holiday Inn express.
- Looks like a Pine Snake. Harmless, non-venomous. Protected in some states.
:):) - Why did you need to kill it?
- My DW would tell you it's a cross between a 40' Anaconda and a King Cobra. :W
I don't especially like snakes but, I would not have killed it. Looks like a Pine Snake. Harmless, non-venomous. Protected in some states.
Agree...surprised it even got close to the nest...most barnyard fowl will harass a snake until they force it to leave.....- I wouldn't of killed it either, I would of been too busy running away. Glad it's dead. I hate snakes.
- Shame to kill a non-poisonous snake. They do good by eating vermin. The thing is, a piece of ground will only support so many snakes so when you kill a non-poisonous snake, you make room for a poisonous one.
- My best estimate would be a Florida Pine Snake
