You can also use the Serpent app for snake removal services. This species tend to be extra nervous at night, so absolutely do not handle it.

BTW, the picture is really good. Looks like a prime specimen, may be freshly shed.

When I took Herpetology in college, we all had to buy a Peterson's Guide for lab. That's where I started. Next, I check this sub multiple times a day and try to ID the snakes.

But are you just basing that on your reverse image search results? Or were you able to find the photo in that documentary? I'm not antagonizing, I'm genuinely trying to get to the bottom of this. I skimmed that doc and did not see anything even close to the snake pictured.

It seems that search result was a third-party making a mistake, because the snake pictured is definitely not a black mamba or any other African snake that I am aware of.

I agree, but with the caveat that Raleigh is right on the edge of a hybrid zone between N. fasciata and N. sipedon. Superficially, it looks kind of like N. fasciata - the blotches align with the bands most of the way down, more than you usually see on N. sipdeon. Not sure if it "means" anything as far as what gene flow is actually occurring, but it is kind of neat.

This is a pretty interesting paper about the contact zone: http://www.filedropper.com/0912f50602d27df2ed000000

No picture, and the other post was removed by the mods there so I can't check it.

We shouldn't have any problem providing you with an ID when you get the picture back up. You have two options for this; 1. either start a new thread here from scratch, or 2. simply upload the picture somewhere else (imgbb.com, imgur.com, etc.) and then copy/paste the link as a reply in this thread.

if you dealing with them quite often this might help--

Reminds me more of these that we used in school

There are little gadget you can put in your pool to help wildlife that fell in to get out.

Maybe something like that would help.

They are really cool and I heard alot of positive things about them.

It's something like this right? https://www.amazon.com/Swimline-FrogLog-Animal-Saving-Escape/dp/B08QX5MN28?dplnkId=8f8c4401-1306-4498-b555-d09c00b0bbbc

Upload them to imgur.com or imgbb.com/ and then copy/paste the links in a reply to this thread. Would love to see if we could get to the bottom of this one.

I had a ficus that I thought was a gonner due to scale insects. Local nursery recommended this spray. I used it every 2-3 days and it ended up saving the plant. It's well on it's to becoming a full on tree now.

Usually, more than one frog log is recommended, based on the size of the pool. Critter skimmers also exist that put a little ramp inside the skimmer to help animals escape that way.

This book doesn't have accurate taxonomy but is still an invaluable resource for IDs and general information:
