First Texas Long-nosed Snake I've seen

From MikeHikes's log of San Angelo State Park

Walking along Roadrunner Loop around 1030 and saw this Texas Long-nosed Snake. I used a branch to move him off the trail - he lifted his tail and acted as if it had rattles! After his demo of strength, he leisurely slithered away.
