Getting kinda snakey early this year

Went out for the first time this year on Feb. 8 and saw 7 snakes & 14 gators. Caught a nice Western rat snake - I think that might be the earliest in the year I’ve ever caught a snake. Saw 3 other species: plain-bellied water snake, broad-banded water snake, and a few MS green water snakes. No cottons yet.

Jealous. I've been dying to go catch snakes bare handed but the damn weather just won't cooperate. Up here in nela we typically don't start picking cotton mouths up barehanded until mid-March.

This past Saturday a buddy of mine walked up on a very big copperhead while squirrel hunting. One of those oh shite moments while walking around the tree looking up trying to spot the tree rat and then looking down and .... there it is.
Saw a pic of it on his phone, alive and dead.

We've got snakes and gators out already as well.
I honestly cannot remember a February where it's happening before Valentines Day ... before now.

With all those snakes...you sure you're not in D.C?

Hopefully a polar vortex comes in late feb and kills them all. Except the gators

I saw 8 cottonmouths in 2 hours on Saturday. Haven't seen hardly any all hunting season.

Actually love observing snakes/gators in the wild, but from a distance. You mentioned no CMs yet, so do snakes hibernate during the winter months?
Also, baby gator riding momma's back is super cool!

My 40 acres with a 2acre pond had many snakes. Racers, Rat snakes, king snakes, mud snakes, copperheads, cotton mouths, garter, ribbon, worn snakes and a lot of water snakes.
Since hogs moved in 5 yrs ago we see only racers, ratsnakes, king snakes, garter and ribbon.
I know hogs snakes but do they eat poisonous snakes and can they catch water snakes? Or is it something else?

No “off time” for snakes in these areas. Rattlers in Feb is my rule after having dispatched a beast a few days after single digit temps. Always be aware.
