I have very fond memories of spending quality time with my son Zachariah. Not ever moment was spent in utter seriousness but most were a mix of fun but we always found time to keep the focus and conversations around God and His Word.
I ran across a couple of videos taken from some of the times Zachariah and I would go out hunting snakes. We indeed were the Snake Kings. Our experiences help us have a better understanding of how incredible God's creation is.
The first video was of a nice sized western diamondback rattlesnake we caught in Walburg Texas.
The other video was of another diamondback snake but of the non-venomous and non-rattler type. It was a diamondback watersnake. Many times people mistaken these for water moccasins. The Diamondback watersnake, as you can see in the video, are very aggressive. They tenid to not be shy and appear very curious. If you are not alert when fishing you may find your stringer of fish the target of these guys. When they lay claim to one of your fish they can often times bite into the fish and hold on with a vengeance as if fighting you in a battle of tug of war over your fish. They can come across a bit crazy. A true adversary of the Snake Kings for sure.
The pic of the coral snake was the latest snake we caught and eventually skinned.
Over the years we have caught many different types of snakes to include: rat, rattlesnake, Diamondback water snake, rough green snake, ribbon snake, copperhead, Coral, hognose, Earth snake, etc. You may want to call us crazy but we prefer, the Snake Kings...LOL.
