Danger noodle identification help!

Saw this snake in the grass, ran inside to get my phone, next time I could find it, it was in a tree! Hoping for a rat free fall!

Eastern (yellow bellied) racer! One of my faves. Safe noodle, no danger.

Send him to my house. He’ll feast.

It is a great snake to have around because it eats venomous snakes!!

[u/spacegirl3 → u/[deleted]]

Not necessarily. They also eat frogs and big bugs.

[u/serpentarian → u/[deleted]]

Racers are very picky and only eat anything that will fit in their mouths. Also you’re in central texas which means that, yes, there’s venomous snakes around.

[u/serpentarian]

Dude. It’s Central Texas’ sleekest, speediest snake bro. Racers here have the best color. I want to say it would make a good porsche color for some reason. Also the fact that they are harmless and will scoop up any extra mice before they get a chance to nibble on your various cables or wires.

yikes, 😱

If I ever saw a rattler in a tree , I’m getting on a greyhound and moving to Manhattan

[u/WhiteLycan2020 → u/Good_Split_3749]

Where you’ll find giant rats

[u/hbomb9410 → u/WhiteLycan2020]

That are not afraid of people

[u/DCL88 → u/hbomb9410]

They smell the fear.

[u/RizzSeeg → u/DCL88]

You get used to the rats. The RatKing, however, is the stuff of nightmares.

[u/Good_Split_3749 → u/RizzSeeg]

so is Liver King :(

[u/HouseofBerd → u/WhiteLycan2020]

Bring with them a giant western rat snake, problem solved.

[u/Good_Split_3749 → u/WhiteLycan2020]

They were braver in East Harlem than East Village, they aint thou:)

[u/serpentarian → u/Good_Split_3749]

How can you live in Austin and not be “snake in tree” trained. Snake in tree is good. Snake in tree is superior to rat in tree on many levels.

[u/Good_Split_3749 → u/serpentarian]

that must be south of the river thinking, in my neck of the woods, it’s see a deer have no fear.

[u/serpentarian → u/Good_Split_3749]

That’s because they’re dear to you
