A patch-nosed

Yesterday James alerted me, which sent me running for my camera (phone). "I've got a snake for you," he exclaimed.

Wow, a Texas patch-nosed snake (Salvadora grahamiae lineata) was coiled behind our metal plant stand on the front porch. As you can tell, he/she didn't like us much, but I had to get photos and a video, too. The first patch-nosed we met was back in August 2008 in the same location. The second one was in November 2019. They're feisty but harmless.
