Sure sign of rain

When these babies start moving, you usually get a gully warsher in a day or two. Seen several today.

They are hunting a place to lay eggs. I started seeing them here last week. Its usually the 3rd week of May here.

Another old sayin proved wrong. Dang.

I thought the sure sign of rain was when I mowed hay.

This is one of the first years I haven't seen any snappers out roaming. I did find a very large one floating in my pond. Not sure if it died of old age or what, but it sure did stink.

This one had a distinct smell. I also sometimes think I can smell a snake.

I commented the wife just sunday that we hadn;t seen any.
Did have a diller that drowned floating in one of the ponds though

My mother could, or always said she could, and when she said she smelled one, wasn't long before we found one--usually a copperhead.

Most animals have a paticular or unique smell. We don't like our smell, and call it body odor.

You absolutely can smell a snake. Especially a water moccasin. Me and a buddy walking down the creek to go fishing and we both smelled him at the same time. Stopped and saw him move a few seconds later.

Garter snakes smell foul, though I've never found one by the smell... The rubber boas we have here don't smell at all (that I can tell)..

 

[M.Magis]

I've never been able to smell one before seeing it, but I know garter snakes and water snakes smell horrible if you touch them. I've heard about cottonmouths and/or copperheads smelling like cucumbers, but fortunately never experienced it myself.
I also think some people have a much better sense of smell than others.
