Snakes ‘N Stuff
(Edited)
Besides some Great Lake landscape photos, there is much more to be found at any typical lake. Including snakes. We spotted a couple of different snakes slithering around the shoreline, and in the water, here at Silver Springs lake. Anyone care to guess what kind of snake this is? Anytime I come across a snake here in the Canadian Rockies, my first reaction is to be a little startled, but then quickly I remember that there really isn’t anything poisonous around these parts, which is always a great relief. I suppose if I was hiking in the southern Rockies, then snakes may be an issue. What would you do if you ran into a poisonous snake out on the trail?

Excelentes imágenes de la naturaleza, recientemente subí un post de Bromelias seguro te gustará ese género, disfrute tu post saludos desde cuba 🇨🇺!!!
Thanks for looking.
Riccioli's snake if my google search is correct 😀
Never heard of that kind before!
One of non poisonous snakes. I'm guessing the one you saw was non-poisonous. 😀
You are right.
Very nice image display. I like your Photography results.
Thanks.
World is bond homie, love this photos!
Remember me that life is good 💌
Hey thanks.

Loving the shots
Great, thanks.
I took a thousand steps to leave that place. I am very afraid of snakes, whatever kind they are. venomous or not.
Good plan!
I don't think I've seen any type of snake as this but it's a beautiful one, but I'm certain snakes in the wild will be poisonous because they actually need that venom to be able to hunt in the wild.
Not around here really. That being said, I avoid snakes if I encounter them.
Snake is scary.. but nice click
They are right, thanks.
The photo of the snake is impressive, because of the camouflage, if you are walking you should not be able to distinguish it.
Yes, that is what makes me very aware as I hike through the woods.
Awww... Nice snake photo, I'm always amazed how those snakes survive the winter in places like where you take these photos... In my region we have several species of snake, I know the ones that are not poisonous very well and I take photos of them... And when I see the poisonous ones, I run away from them! hahaha :) I don't have a single photo of a poisonous snake in my portfolio, I think!... :))

Animals are just so resilient aren't they. No poisonous snakes in mine neither, and not likely in the future either, hopefully!!

Beautiful pictures and a cool snake! If you leave snakes alone as a general rule they leave you alone. Don't you have the prairie rattlesnake around there?
That path on the hike heading off into the distance came out nicely in monochrome. The snake I like in living color though! lol
Great job!
I hope not. Have never seen a rattlesnake up here. I'm going to do a bit of research on Canadian snakes though, maybe tonight. I'm curious now. Thanks for stopping by.

Beautiful photos, especially the snake. Looks to me like a garter snake, maybe a checkered garter snake. Or a bull or gopher snake. Both non venomous. If I saw a snake in the wild, I did they were harmless water snakes, and didn't know if it were venomous or not I'd treat it as if it were. Freeze and try and get some distance to it. They'll very likely skedaddle but who knows. I wouldn't want to tempt it.
I think you are probably right, a garter snake. I wonder if bear spray would work to frighten them away..
Just spray water should do but a garter snake is really harmless, you can pick them up, it may try and bite but likely only threaten to.
