Great pics. Ther are a few things i wish to point out.
Quote:

This is a Canebrake Rattle Snake (Crotalus Horridus). It is a venomous snake with lots of venom. It is not a very common species of snake to find in the wild. It is actually an endangered species.

Actually, it is Crotalus horridus atricaudatus (for those of us who subscribe to the Canebrake ssp). I am unaware of it being endangered and is a very common hot that we run across in the field. I know the the true Timber Rattlesnake (C h horridus) is endangered throughout much of it's range. Perhaps in other reaches of the Canebrake's range it is endangered. But int he South, it is thriving.

Very cool trip. I'm lucky, I get to find stuff like that everyday, I live in Florida  . I plan on looking for Southern Ring NEcks tonight. They are very cool, just really small which makes them hard to find.

Just flip rocks and logs for ringnecks. Try the rocks or paving stones in your yard. They live well in yards, lots of bugs. I can usually find 3 in 5 minutes my yard. Just make sure you look close at the "worms", they may have the ring on the neck

We are talking about snakes right? I cannot seem to find many here. I wish I could find as many as you! I would start a little breeding colony for fun

I generally don't keep worm eaters. But I may have to for educational programs sice ringnecks and dekayi are the most common snakes here.

I really want to keep one because it will be quite easy to take care of and even easier to hide from my parents who HATE snakes

That looks like a fun trip Jordan! The pictures are great. Seems like you're getting into the groove of herping for years to come, for sure!

How did you pick up that racer like that? When I was in Florida a few weeks ago, I tried to pick up a 4 foot racer and it struck at me so many times, I decided as much as I wanted to hold it, I was going to let this one go. He seemed mad as heck.
one other thing. Are the insides of the racers mouth white?

If I was carrying some sort of tongs or something I might have gone ahead and caught him, but all I had was this 4 foot stick and I didnt want to hurt him.
I should buy a pinning hook, but I dont want pay 30 bucks for it, so I might buy a cheap golf club from Goodwill, break off the end and add some sort of "Y" and wrap a rubberband around it.
Oh! I'm so clever....

you should not pin the head of a racer. it is not right. they have small teeth and if you restrain it you can injure it. head pinning non venomous colubrids should not be done.
thats what i think
