Rattlesnakes at Pawnee

[trlcavscout]

i saw 5 snakes on our road yesterday. And while fencing I saw a red,white and black snake. I looked it up. Its either a milk snake or a coral snake. Either way, there goes a year off the end of my life.

One is poisonous one is not right? The one pictured is non-poisonous the red/yellow is? I havent seen them in a long time cant remember.

I think the poem is:

Red next to Black, friend of Jack. Red next to Yellow, kill a fellow.

Yeah, that's right, check it out here. Milk snakes are cool.

Red and yellow kill a fellow.
Red and black friend of Jack.

We don't have coral snakes in Colorado! So, maybe a Milk Snake? They would have big redish splotches, not stripes.

I saw a very bright green snake around Durango area, and, lots of little horned toads. Last time I went down there I didnt see the horned toads.

Not sure what the bright green, like ugly green snake was. Just saw it for a second, in the bush, couldnt catch it. Didn't make sense, cause I know snakes, never heard of a bright green snake in Colorado. Think if could have been a racer or coatchwhip when I looked it up last.

But yea, Colorado does not have that many type of snakes.

Hmm, this looks like it. In Pagosa Springs, so the map fits.
