Testimonials

"Special thanks for identifying our snake! My daughter walked on the dock and didn't see the snake until she was quite close. As soon as she saw it, she let out a scream and ran!!! I am so glad it is non-venomous!!Will contact you in the future for children's workshop on snakes!"

"Wow, thanks for the quick reply. Yes, that is the snake I saw. Thank you so much for the information. I told my kindergarten class about it and we looked on your site to identify some of the snakes in Texas and see if we could find my snake. They will be thrilled with this information too! I can't wait to show them the pictures!
I love your website! Very informational."

"I would like to thank you for providing such an informative website. I am from the north, where a lot of snakes are not found, and I manage a small horse ranch in Kerrville, (60 miles NW of San Antonio) so I am outside most of the time. I find a lot of snakes around the property, usually juveniles. I have learned to identify the four venomous snakes so as not to endanger myself. When I find a young snake that is not a venomous one, I run into the computer, get on your site and identify him."

"I want to thank you for your help. I was also thinking it might be the Blotched Water Snake from different pictures but too many snake markings in pictures resembled it. From what I read they will travel up to a mile from a water source and there is a small creek about 3/4 of a mile from thier house. I again want to thank you for your help and appreciate it. My parents will capture them from now on and drop them off to the creek. Thanks again."
"Thank you for walking me through my fear of snakes. This morning, we found a snake in our garage. We took a photo and went to your site to identify it as a Gulf Coast Ribbon Snake. We encouraged him to leave after our photo op, what a wonderful experience. It was great being able to go to your site to see what we had.
Thanks!"

"I am sending you this e mail to let you know that thanks to your website, I will rest a little better tonight. We live in the country, that is slowly being taken over by progress. A new apartment complex is being built next to our property, which after the land clearing began, we got all kinds of critters! The other day, we came accross a snake which we have never seen here before, usually all we come across is copperheads! I tried to identify the snake online with no luck! But when I found your site, the snake I was trying to identify was on the your website front page! I called your number, thinking that since this was Sunday evening I would get a recording, but your wife answered the phone and when I explained to her my concern, she told me this was a speckled king snake and explained to me everything I needed to know!
I would like to commend you and your wife, she was very understanding in my problem as I explained to her we have two horses four dogs, two cats and one twelve year old boy ( that's at the age I'd like to throw into a pit of rattlers sometimes!)
I now have your site save on my favorites section as I know I will be having to use it from time to time. Thank you for your help."

"Clint, thank you so much for the snake id tonight...and how timely the link below to her finding that coral snake. I recommended you to my friend Leanne, she needs to figure out what's going on over there! You're the best! Helping me over my snake fear and 'm learning them quite well, too!"
