Viral Video Shows a Snake in Comal River During Tubing Season

This one falls under the NOPE category!  A video was recently posted to Tiktok and shows a snake hanging out in the Comal during tubing season. According to a report, she was in new New Braunfels in the Comal when she took the now viral video.  She also captioned with "the reason why I don't float the river in New Braunfels."

Many of the comments on the post point to a non-venomous snake alongside some pretty comical comments as well.  My favorite comment states: whole snake underwater friend. whole snake on top of water not friend. What are your thoughts?

@amyjogarciaa I was sitting right across from the float in getting some sun when I saw this little guy😳 #comal #comalriver #newbraunfels #newbraunfelstx #texas #texasriver #newbraunfelsriver #floatinn ♬ Welp, Didn't Expect That - Yu-Peng Chen & HOYO-MiX

Watch Your Step: Snakes Are Waking Up Across South Texas

As temperatures start to warm up, snakes will start coming out of their hiding spots. Below, we will take a look at some of the more common snakes found in South Texas. If you are out and about, wear heavy footwear, jeans, leggings or boots to help protect yourself in tall grass.

@chroncom Many Texans are excited to see summer transition into fall, but this time period also comes with a warning. Each year between late summer and early fall is when eggs laid in the spring have hatched and live-bearing snakes have given birth, meaning more encounters with the young limbless reptiles—venomous and non-venomous alike—are more likely. Recently, a 10-inch-long baby rattlesnake was spotted in the grass outside the National Weather Center in Midland, Texas. "As your friendly neighborhood meteorologists, we're not only here to advise you of hazardous weather, but also hazardous wildlife," the NWS wrote on Facebook. "This is the time of year that rattlesnakes give birth, so keep an eye out, and stay safe!" ✍🏽 @ariana_mg 📷 @gettyimages . . . #snakes #nature #texas #austintexas #dallastexas #igtexas #houstontexas #texasforever #westtexas #texasblogger #southtexas #texashillcountry #texasmade #texaslife #madeintexas #sanantoniotexas #easttexas #texascountry #elpasotexas #texasweather #texasstrong #northtexas ♬ оригинальный звук - 🖤🕷️

Copperhead snakes might be the most common venomous snake in our area. While venomous, the bite of a copperhead is seldom fatal because of its short fangs (1.2 to 7.2 mm in length) and a small amount of venom. However, seek treatment if you is bitten.
