    Seen here in the Greenbelt, looks like a blotched snake but has a viper looking head. Very strange. Anyone with good snake knowledge know what this thing is?

    Also is white under the mouth, not yellow like a blotched water snake.

    Greenbelt in Kingwood?

    A neighbor of mine killed a snake that looked just like that in his backyard (right off the greenbelt) a few weeks ago.

    I can't say for sure, but it appears to be some type of serpent.

    I don't know, but I heard that an effective way to kill vipers, especially a red one, is to squeeze its head through the eyes with your thumbs till its head explodes.

    I never planned on killing this guy, just wanted to ID him out of curiosity. I also got away from him quickly. That viper looking head really stood out and took me by surprise.

    Not a viper looking head. No pits, round pupils instead of slits, no huge blocky head. So definitely not venomous.

    Could be a banded water snake. Hard to tell from the picture.
