The patterns are so similar that it is kind of pointless to try and identify. All the damn different gopher snakes too.
Every freaking snake that isn’t a black snake, in Texas, seems to look like this.
Just treat them all as venomous, leave them alone, and go about your day.
I usually don’t get that close a look as they run away, usually straight into the water. (Cottonmouths around here.)
This is really good information.
