paradime Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 I think those two went to SF gold rush heaven. Used to see them everyday when I lived by Union Square, along with that cartoon artist Crumb. SF hasn't really changed much. Basically there are two hot European super models, one single gay dude, and 3 batshit panhandlers on each corner. Yah, the Brown sisters passed in the late 90's I think. You forgot the sexually ambiguous hipster with a $350 plaid shirt, and a man bun. 1 Link to comment

VFR800 Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 I am told it's either a Keel Back snake or a Rough Scale snake. Keel Back - non venomous Rough Scale - venomous The scale count is one of the visual signs as to which (apparently). 1 Link to comment
hobospyder Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Because you're going to risk getting bitten to count scales. Sounds about right.... 2 Link to comment
paradime Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 As narrow as that snakes head is I doubt it's venomous, but I'm not testing my theory on my hand. 1 Link to comment

Dolomite Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 As narrow as that snakes head is I doubt it's venomous, but I'm not testing my theory on my hand. Head width won't tell you anything about a snakes potential to be venomous. Wide heads with puffy venom sacks are a viper thing, there's plenty of killers with narrow heads. America's coral snake, Australia's rough scale, taipan, even the browns and fierce snake are relatively narrow, then Africa's myriad of mamba species and the list goes on. In Australia you're safer assuming every snake is venomous. Odd fun fact: even with over 20 of the top 25 deadliest snakes in the world, Australia has the least deaths due to snakebite. Ten times more people die per year from horseback riding in Australia than from snakes. 2 Link to comment

angliagt Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 My Mom has Parkinsons disease,& was going downhill fast. I had to laugh when she said that she wanted to live long enough to vote against Hillary in the next election. She's doing much better now,thankfully,so looks like she'll get her wish. 1 Link to comment

paradime Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Finally a logical reply. Herpetologist I ante, but... How to Identify a Venomous Snake http://www.wikihow.com/Identify-a-Venomous-Snake 7 Check out their head shape. Non-venomous snakes have a spoon-shaped rounded head and venomous snakes will have a more triangular head. this is because of the venom glands (this is less noticeable on the coral snake). That being said I don't know shit about snake other than I hate every God damned one of them, with all due prejudges. Link to comment
VFR800 Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 As mentioned - the Keel Back and Rough Scale snake (of which the one in my yard was of either type) are near identical so one method for checking is the scale count. Link to comment
tr8er Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Or you could skip the bragging about your counting skills and do it like a man. Coax it to bite and find out. 1 Link to comment
