Lemmy should have a snake identification community. I am happy to provide identifications where possible. If anyone is good with bot creation, we can incorporate that too. If you're interested in moderating, let me know.

The icon features a timber rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus). The banner features a common watersnake (Nerodia sipedon).

Rules:

Posts must include location (State/Department and Country at minimum)
Replies must include common (if applicable) and scientific name
Be polite and courteous to others
For North American tricolored snakes, do not parrot the rhyme (IYKYK)
Dead snakes are allowed. Encouraging snake deaths is not.

There are several other communities where you can share snake images that don't need an identification:

Welcome to the nostalgia-filled piefed instance of yesteryear.

Open Registration with Application questionnaire.

If you have a question or comment you can post in !meta@retrofed.com or message @DosDude@retrofed.com or @Die4Ever@retrofed.com

In case of downtime and/or emergency, we will post updates on @DosDude@mastodon.social

Some rules we try to uphold:

Be civil. Bigotry is not welcome. This includes (but is not limited to): transphobia, queerphobia, racism, ageism and ableism. We do not promote hate.
Communities need to be Retro or Retro-adjacent.
Please don't upload pornographic content. (use an external image host for that)
