A porch is never a good place to find a snake

It may or may not be a good idea to post pictures of dead rattlesnakes that aren't diamondbacks.

And google and Facebook saves everything,,,,

The op is a Westen Diamondback.

So, Ol Cajun saw a Rat Snake, but what is the one I posted? Ive lived here over 20 years, and this is the first rattlesnake I’ve seen.

Western Diamonback.

Neat lookin critters. Black and white bands around tail and black and white bands on head are what I find really strikingly handsome about westerns.

I'd recommend sweeping your porch more often I know that's the first thing I'm doing when I get home lol

And by sweeping you mean with a 12ga lol.

OP, judging from the apparent small size of that one, there's likely more in the area... be careful... Those little suckers are more apt to bite and go full on injection with their venom too!!

That’s what I’m afraid of. My wife’s neice’s family out near Midland has probably killled over 20 in the last 18months, all within 50 yards of their home.....

I'd be rounding up a couple dozen King Snakes to turn loose.
