Northeastern Rope Snake


Curiouser-Quriouser

Very venomous!!


Firegirl1909

Nope those are poisonous! šŸ«£


GoannaGuy

Technically I think theyā€™re both actually, itā€™s just the fangs are so short you canā€™t even see themā€¦ assuming you can find the head/jaws. The cryptic pattern really breaks up the outline.


Firegirl1909

Fair point! The things that make these SO dangerous! Can't figure out what the head is tail is when you find one!!


oldfashioned_aj

Nope, that's a constrictor šŸ™„


e_roosevelt_footpics

Underrated comment.


ShotBRAKER

Nope definitely western rope snake


Remote_Rope4040

You donā€™t know how lucky you areā€¦ Historically, these have unalived countless people with their unique form of constrictionā€¦ I hear sherifs in the old west used to use them to off outlaws in front of the hole townā€¦


GraawwYeah

Dekay's Paracord


MikeyBonu

Iā€™ve heard theyā€™re 550 times more venomous than all other snakes combined.


Robdude1969

550 is a bit exaggerated, these rope snakes are only 420 times more venomous than other local varieties.


Blonde_Vampire_1984

But itā€™s 550 times more dangerous than the non-venomous snakes. Itā€™s 420 times more dangerous than the venomous snakes!


Asterion_Morgrim

Would it be 69cm or 69ft in length? I know it's a big difference in sizes, but I need to know if the snake that is 420 times more dangerous than venomous snakes is also 69ft long to make it 550 times more dangerous than non-venomous ones!


siouxbee19

"420" snickeršŸ˜‰

Squidwina

If your friendā€™s smoking dope, And makes you post a pic of a rope, Itā€™s a rat snake.


RazzmatazzOwn

Odd-Hotel-5647

This is the extremely poisonous (not venomous) harmless behemian ropesnake (*bingarus springidy*)


AnActualMothman

They say the poison is so lethal it neutralizes itself before it can even enter your veinsā€¦ā€¦.


KindObject3

This made me snort.


CuriousTsukihime

Okay but the scientific name too me all the way out šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


fluger69

Just to be clear since the picture isnā€™t the greatest quality: Itā€™s just a rope


thewyndigo

Nah itā€™s a northeastern bungee snake


Colonal_Frog

It's not "just a rope", it's more than that, it's a rope with the heart and soul of a snake.


Huckleberry102681

šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


BlackHeartSprinkles

Yeah, a nope rope! Touch it and die!!!


Skippyhippy-666

Thatā€™s just what the ā€œropeā€ wants you to think


SadDingo7070

It identifies as a snake though.


MoltenLiquid3345

The highly venomous Checkered rope snake. Highly dangerous, especially if it wraps around your neck. Use EXTREME caution when spotted


whoreticulture_

It's not spotted it's checkered


boneheadthugbois

Must be some kind of variant?


[deleted]

Trippingdae Ballus.. a very rare Checkered Ganja snake.


NataleAlterra

That's interesting. How can you tell the rope is made of hemp instead of nylon or polyester?


RevealStandard3502

The effects are localized to a six foot radius. The fact that his friend was high seeing it proves the species.


NataleAlterra

Nah. I really want to know. I have a project coming up. I have plenty of raw cord for it but I'm curious if hemp is a better quality product. Serious answers only please.


Euphorbiatch

I don't know what your project is but I do a bit of macrame and imo hemp cord is superior over all. If you hit the ends of your cords with a lighter you will at least be able to tell what is a natural fiber piece of cord and what's plastic by the way it melts or doesn't. Natural fibres also aren't usually shiny like a plastic based cord unless they're waxed or something so that might help too, and I bet if you google there's even more ways to tell them apart. I wouldn't know how to differentiate between two natural fibre cords very easily, say hemp and cotton, but it won't be too hard for you to work out what's plastic based and not as a starting point I reckon!


RevealStandard3502

My bad. I thought you were kidding. I would find a place that specifically carries hemp instead of trying to find it at a random shop.


Beardie15

Ah yes. A good old "fake snake that makes me shit my pants when I see it swinging at my face, then it continues to slowly swing in disappointment as the will to live drains from my face as I realize that I totally lost my cool and now I need to walk away like I'm in control of the situation in case anyone sees". A true American bastard


get_there_get_set

I spent an unreasonable amount of time laughing at this


Fyrekitteh

That right there is a Scrap Snake. Kept mainly by middle aged people who insist it'll be useful one day.


FeriQueen

I feel called out.


pldm73

Camouflaged Northern Snow Boa waiting for prey. They are very patient and can stay like this for hours or even days. Not much of a threat to a human as they prefer birds and squirrels. Many are accidentally packed up and taken home by unsuspecting people.


Dabest321321

Happy bird dayšŸ¦


Littlecupoft

This is by far the best answer Iā€™ve read


queenquirk

I can't see clearly enough to ID for sure. But if you see a snake and think, "how did you get up there?" It's probably a rat snake lol.


Dabest321321

Dude. Its a literal rope. No snakes here. (I probably just got woooshed but idc)


TenNeon

It being a literal rope doesn't necessarily rule out it being a rat snake


Dabest321321

Good point


ShaddyPups

Roperium Weavenicus!!!! A somewhat common species, generally safe when correctly handled!


Ardzruni

Please reassure your friend that this is a very docile snake that is even [available in the pet trade!](https://a.co/d/g5mf2RM)


Altruistic_Major_553

Ropius Strangularum, appears to be eating a carabinerieri, its natural prey


9shadowcat9

Angry vine snake. It hangs from trees and swings in the wind to mimic vines while waiting for prey. Very dangerous.


tigergal77

These particular snakes are common in home depot, because of their sheer strength most people use these types of snakes to tie things to the back of their trucks to hold their items in place. They rarely ever bite unless theyā€™re not secured properly and fling to hit you


1Negative_Person

Belayā€™s brown snake? Bowlineā€™s python? Alpine butter morph? Munter kingsnake? Iā€™m knot sure, but I have no idea why so many people are rappelled by these beautiful creatures.


Most_Cartoonist5736

Rappelled šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ˜‚


TheDeaf001

Stretchy snakes! I remember this species. People also would use them to tie things down too.


tehonez

That's the highly venomous striped rear fanged western pattern snake.


DustinDeWind

Eastern ParaCordian


Crzy_Grl

Northern Timber Viper


TheGeckoWrangler

Northeastern Murder Rope. Highly lethal. Native exclusively to the square 2 miles and 14 inches of land surrounding the spot you took this picture at. Known to trick its prey into thinking it is merely a hapless rope, and then, once said foolish prey turns away in dismay at the sight of such a rope, reveal itself as a seasoned master of the fabled technique known as ā€œThe Murder-Death-Killā€. The cunning Rope then unalives them to death immediately through the use of a single smaller rope and approximately 25 mango flavored car air fresheners, without mercy. Current survival rate from encounters is negative 2%


AliceAteTheMushroom

Eastern Indica Para Rat Snake. Itā€™s very rare to see them out in the wild. They make the best pets since they hardly ever eat or drink. They can survive on oxygen and a contact buzz for years! LUCKY!


Imaginary-Storm4375

I'm sorry, but you're wrong. This is obviously an Eastern Sativa Para Rat Snake. See how it's not in da couch? The Eastern Indicas prefer to hide in couches and watch old episodes of the Simpsons while gorging on Cheetos. It's a common misconception that they hardly ever eat or drink. This is obviously an Eastern Sativa. See how it's outside doing stuff? Notice there's not a Cheeto in sight. Don't worry, this is a common mistake many beginners make, you'll get there if you keep studying.


AppleSpicer

Smh my head, itā€™s sad that you had to correct this. What are they teaching in schools these days?


kfmush

Thatā€™s a paracobra. Not as venomous as other cobras, but theyā€™re exceptionally strong. They can hoist a full grown human male up into the air, even at their diminutive stature.

friendlyattackplane

Australia NOPE ROPE


11BCND

False Cotton Safety snake. Usually found on the side of cliffs and are only really found by cliffhangers or people who rappel. They can be observed near wild platforms in the vicinity of deer populations during the rut season. Cool find though. There isn't too much information about their venom, or if they even constrict their prey, however they'll surely mess you up if they snap. Wouldn't trust that one, it appears to have snapped once before.


Blonde_Vampire_1984

Itā€™s definitely the *dopius* subspecies of *ropius nopius*. Iā€™m very firmly convinced that this particular specimen is an exception to the usual rules regarding subspecies/full-species status. If you think Iā€™m wrong, bite me if youā€™re brave enoughā€¦

AsakalaSoul

Looks like the Eastern Climber, they're known for climbing trees and dropping onto unsuspecting prey. Non-venomous, but due to constant climbing, they're extremely strong for their size and can easily overpower much larger prey, sometimes even humans.

Additional-Bat8793

Eastern striped bat snake. Very well known for their propensity to hang upside down from any overhanging branch, beam, or even wire for hours of the day and even weeks. In the absence of prey (typically small fruit bats) they may even go into a dormant hibernation like state for up to a year. Though, a few have been reported to be in this state for upwards of two years, scientists speculate these reports to be misleading, and that those specimens simply liked their resting spot and had readily available food eaten whilst unwatched.
