OK so what is this one. I pitched him back into a tree line. He did his tail like a rattler against the side of the building till I caught him. He was about four foot or a little under.

Looks like a plain old water snake.

That one does look like a rat snake. Seriously.

Doesn't look like a Bull Snake to me. Several different non venomous snakes shake their tail like a rattler, I've seen all kinds do it.

I said Rat, not bull. :-)

According to a guy on the site I posted these pics from, this one is a bull snake.


This one is a Rat snake.


I've seen the second one around my place many times. They are quick to coil up, rattle their tales at you and strike if you mess with them. Otherwise, they are harmless.

I know that, the person you quoted said Bull. I'm agreeing with you.

Second picture is a dead ringer just with no red in it. I will go with a ole rat snake. When I looked up bull snakes they were close to but the head was not as flat.

I found the fourth copperhead since spring around the house Wednesday night.

Very common around here. They hang close to creeks and won't hurt anyone. The wasp spray thing is jacked up. Hope it survives.

Surprising for any snakes to be moving around in this cold weather.

I'll tell ya exactly what kind of snake it would be if it was at my house....a dead snake.
