Hello and happy weekend! Amazing another month is gone. Before doing today’s puzzler I just want to say thanks to all of those subscribers who have been guessing the puzzlers! Thanks for taking the time to do that. I’ve entered you in the quarterly drawing to win one of my greeting card sampler packs (worth $25)– to be given away just after we enter into winter.
If you want to get your name in the quarterly drawing, all you have to do is use the reply box below the puzzler to offer a guess. Do this before the end of the weekend. You don’t have to be right! But you do have to use the reply box and not an email to me. And then follow me on Instagram. (letting me know with a comment when you do) That’s it! You can be entered numerous times, so start guessing today! These cards make a great gift, or if you want, you can keep them for yourself. They are beautiful and unique.
Okay, so today’s puzzler is another snake. This one is VERY different from last week’s puzzler!! First off, it is a thick-bodied snake. It can be 45 inches long. It has a very distinctive zig zag pattern all along its thick body. It has a triangular-shaped head… and a very distinctive tail. Its eyes are also very different and it has something the common garter snake does not have.
Here are some photos. Do you recognize this snake?
If you recognize this snake, or want to guess, use the reply box below the post. I’ll take all of the names and enter them in the quarterly drawing, then announce a winner on the first day of winter. Hope to hear from you!
I was going to say corn snake but I don’t think they have triangular heads. Not sure…
Hey Barb, not a corn snake but thanks for guessing!
Rattle snake. First and last pics are Timber rattlesnakes. Don’t know the name of the other. Your snake photos are fabulous, Sharon, showing the cryptic nature of these fascinating creatures to blend in with their environment.
Hey Paula, thanks for the compliment, and for taking the time to write. Your guess is correct. All are timber rattlesnakes.
Is it a viper?
It is a rattlesnake. Thanks for guessing!
One of the rattlesnakes. Probably notpygmy given the length so perhaps timber or canebrake
Correct again. Do you ever get any wrong?
Rattle snake?
Amanda, yes, it is a rattlesnake! Thanks for following along. Have a great day!!!
