Saw this making the rounds on social media...guide to 46 La. snakes.
Some peeps around here could certainly benefit (and might spare a few snakes the shovel).

we won't make it without a daily snake ID thread around here. What next, a guide to best handguns for a woman?

That map for Eastern Diamondback needs to be expanded.
I've seen monster ones in St Francisville.

Ron 3 in st Tammany ......many many many moons ago
0f the 18 documented they were all in 3 areas...
No document de backs in La ever - west of hwy 51
What's really ironic is the area where d backs have been have almost no cane breaks (in La)

The real LA guide lists these all as water moccasins in my experience

There's a whole bunch ive never heard of there that I've always lumped into a few categories 
Downshift's guide to louisiana snakes:
The poisonous ones
Chicken snakes-big snakes on land.
Water snakes-things that look like cotton mouths at first but aren't
Garden snakes - green snakes that aren't king snakes.

Scrolled through the link but didn't see if there was a link to Boundy and Carr's newest guide book. Herp guide
Pretty good book. Lots of pics for when you are unsure of your identification.

Haha! Nothing can save snakes from the unfounded fear some people have of them.
You can thank the Bible for that one.

Growing up, this was my bible - a 1949 edition of The Reptiles of North America by Raymond Ditmars (originally published in 1907), which my father and his brother also used as kids.
For local wildlife (reptiles, amphibians, mammals, fish, birds, insects, spiders, plant life), this is an excellent resource though...it is full of great photographs, especially for differentiating all of the local water snake species.
