I have trapped this place in the past, today I see some nutria sign but beavers have also moved in. While checking the place out I seen a snake, in western Oregon we have a few timber rattlers but that’s it for venomous snakes, I have not seen a Gardner snake like this though. He was aggressive kinda a cool looking snake with the red head, after the picture and trying to bite my friends boot it went back into a hole. Spring might be getting close Western Wildlife Services Last edited by wws; 01/27/24 05:29 PM.

After one ole boy baptized himself, he assured us we ain’t got nothing to worry about as far as gators were concerned, lol. What is strange is we haven’t seen a snake all winter. Normally we see quite a few, even on the quail hunts.

A couple years ago only about 10 miles from this one I caught a couple hundred regular Gardner snakes, contractor working on the house stopped working till I got the snakes under control. I guess he was weirded out by snakes. Western Wildlife Services.
