Snakes

The only venomous snakes on this page are the Cottonmouth and the Rattlesnakes and should be left alone. All the others on this page are considered harmless to humans. Watersnakes, racers and a few of the other non-venomous snakes will bite if cornered or handled, but if given the chance will just try to go away from you.

I saw a pencil thin white snake with a few colored spots in my driveway. It was very long and it looked slick not scaled. Help does anyone know what kind of snake this is. We think they are breeding in our garden.

Michael White		22-Aug-2018 21:42
Looking to ID a snake with light brown body color on top with sharp copper stripe running length. Snake was small and appears to be juvenile, no idea of belly color or overall length as it was shy and went under crawlspace but hanging out at c/s door.

Guinn Berger		11-Aug-2018 06:09
The most beautiful snake I've ever seen was sunning itself beside the front door stoop of my house in S.E. Michigan one day, when I started out to walk my dog. The dog never even noticed it, but the snake was obviously panicking as it quickly fled from the dog. I still got a good look at its back: it was a black snake about two feet long, and each of its scales reflected the sun's light as a spot of iridescent blue in the middle of the scale. I've never seen such a pretty reptile before or since. Only wish video-phones had been invented back then; maybe I could have thought fast enough to have gotten a picture.

Betty Sheppard		14-Dec-2017 17:57
A LARGE clear yellow snake very scared of me...........What kind?B

Tina		06-Dec-2017 20:36

I just watched a tan snake with rings crawl across the pool deck into the pool then raised its head and swam like zigzagging across the pool. it turned black in the pool. Its only about 18 inches long, very slender.

Guest		16-Jun-2017 19:16

Johnny		04-Jun-2017 16:47
We are seeing a black snake 4-5 feet long with tan lines that make a square or rectangle on its back about every 6 inches. This snake has red pits in front of its eyes. It has the head of a king snake. Does anyone know this snake?

Guest		20-May-2017 02:59

Guest		19-May-2017 20:23
Does anyone know if there are eastern milk snakes in the texas panhandle? I saw one that had very similar patterns on it today but I haven't read that they are around here.

Ray Smith		18-May-2017 14:55
Ray S. I found a snake yesterday that was brown, with a white belly, and had red markings on it's back. I thought it was a copperhead, but I didn't see the triangles shaped head, or fangs when he struck out. The marks on it's back were almost square. Can anyone ID this snake?

Bob B.		28-Apr-2017 14:33
Great gallery; shows variation in coloring for these species presented. V

Guest		27-Apr-2017 01:17

Tom Murray		21-Apr-2017 18:16
Sounds like the black and gray snake you almost stepped on is a black rat snake.

Guest		21-Apr-2017 17:19
I just almost stepped on one that's black and grey on top and white on the bottom, and can't find a pic to know exactly what it is.

Barbara		21-Sep-2016 23:55

Hey one time me and my family went in the back of the yard and we war playing in the leaves and I saw a Garter snake 😱😲

Joe		20-Dec-2015 14:06
Hey, I've been raking my sister's yard and I have let several piles of leaves standing in the back yard. The piles have bern there since Tuesday of this week. Yesterday (Saturday), I finally got around to gathering up the piles and putting them next to the road. While I was raking a pile onto a tarp, I turned over at the bottom of the pile 2 small baby size snakes. They had real white bellies and when in the sun, they were a bronze, copper like color but with no distinct patterns emerging. I am from eastern central north carolina. Can anyone help me with what they might have been. It's December and just turned real cold last night. I thought snakes went and his at the first sign if winter. Obviously not, huh?

Terresa		01-Sep-2015 08:45
I have a snake problem and no one can tell me what they are. They are fairly big about 3➕ feet long solid black and they look like they have horns. They hiss at you. I am terrified of any kind of snake and I have had several run ins with at least 2 different ones,but the same kind. I don't really want to kill them. But if they are venomous then I need to get them removed. If anyone knows what they are please help.

jonathan		18-Jun-2015 23:22

Timisha		03-Apr-2015 20:35
We seen a black snake with white spots and was wondering wondering what kind it could be and if poisonous, we live near Charlotte n.c.

wwsmith111		26-Feb-2015 21:33
I live NE of Atlanta. Last year I saw a glossy jet black snake with a bright red stripe down the middle of the back starting at the base of the head. I assume it was a juvenile as it was only about 8" long. I live next to a pond with lots of frogs, etc. It wasn't like any black snake I have ever seen because of the bright red stripe and it was solid black. Anybody know what kind of snake this is? Do garter snakes have a solid dark glossy black version with a bright red stripe?

Grace Nichole		03-Oct-2014 00:18

Very small, almost leopard-like dots on the back (black around the edge and light cream interior) and a black, line across the nose past the eyes.

I live in the country and feed the critters occassionally including some turtles. One day I watched a female turtle lay eggs in two different spots in my front yard. A few days later a black snake with green iridescent rings was trying to dig up the turtle eggs. I haven't been able to find pictures of these snakes any where!

In Layton,Utah while washing the driveway with cold water hose a neon-lime-green snake with black rings at regular intervals down it's body. It was about two feet long and thin, maybe an inch diameter. I had washed it out between the cement and the bottom of the siding. As it went off for the long grass it had a very wide and perfectly spaced, wide slither. I can't find anything matching on the internet. Can you help? Carol

Val Spencer		23-May-2013 11:25
I live up in Northern Ontario in the Elliot Lake area. I saw a snake that was orange in colour all over its back. It had a solid black head. The orange colour was solid with no stripes anywhere on its back. Does anyone know what type of snake this could be? Thanks

Well a week ago i started to pick up wood cause my parents wanted to pick it up to cut the grass. But when i pick a wood i found a Yellowish snake with a almost star looking mark around on top of its head. So umm. Can someone tell me what snake is this.

I caught a snake in my yard (aiken, South Carolina) over the weekend that I've never seen one like it and can not find a picture of one on the internet. It was approximately 24 inches long, solid light yellow belly, and the entire body was evenly black/brown/yellow speckled. Can anyone identify this snake for me?

Billy Smith		30-Sep-2012 02:07
I found a small(8") snake while clearing some trees off my lot in Chapin SC at Lake Murray. At first I thought it was a worm. As my father was dragging a few small trees with his tractor I was following behind on foot. The branches of the trees were clearing the ground as he dragged them and there the snake appeared in front of me. I tought it was the biggest earthworm I had ever seen until I went to pick it up. I realized it had a head. Not very distinct but distinct enough. It looks very much like what you show here as a reticulate worm snake. However, after digging a little further I see these are found mainly in S. America. Is it odd I would find one in South Carolina? I have it in a large plastic jar but want to release it soon. Curious though. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks Billy Smith aprilfoolbs@live.com

lisa		23-Sep-2012 02:00
Hi I live in the mountains of Virginia and saw a snake the other day I had never seen before. It was black with white markings but it had its head up like a cobra would and even slithered away with its head still up. The underside of its head was white and the snake was at least five feet long. Everyone I mention it too thinks im crazy but my mother was with me and saw it too. What kind could it be?

Cindy		17-Sep-2012 20:31

Brian SW Indiana, Knox Co. approx. 1:15 P.M. I was walking to the garage when suddenly something caught my eye. It was a solid, dark blue-green color snake, about 2-2 1/2 ft. in length. Body was was about as big around as a silver dollar, and had a slight shiny appearance. Last 6-8 inches (tail) was just a little smaller than the average little finger. It moved rather fast, covering a distance of about 13-15 ft. in about 2 seconds, and then disappeared under a low branched tree in my rock garden. It scared me because it appeared suddenly and moved so fast. I do not remember seeing a snake on my farm property this color before. It may be because of the drought conditions we have had this year. I have heard of blue racers and black racers around Indiana, but do not know the exact hue of their color. ?????

Christina		15-Jun-2012 22:03
I found this small (im guessing its a baby) snake. It is 16 to 16 1/2 cm. Its a little bit light darkish red. It has a light dark brown head and from above halfway of the chest is its red belly. I have pictures of the snake if you need a better description.

Hello, my friend lives in missouri and was suprised when she opened her shed to find a big snake sitting there. it whipped around and stared at her while flicking its tongue around. she did not see any large fangs so she got brave grabbed a shovel and whacked his head off. the snake didnt just wriggle around its body was hoping around the shed very agressivly. She said it was a black snake with a yellow belly and yellow stripes on its sides and it also had red diamonds on its sides. She has asked all over Buckner and no one knows what it is. The mayor is coming out because they are afraid its some weird new species. do you know what it could be?

Shasta County, Northern California; I keep finding 5" long snakes, dark on top, silver underbody in my house. I find one to two at a time and they are always the same size and color. There have been eight so far this year, the last one was found in a bedroom last night (Oct 13). The Ag dept mentioned Black and/or Rubber Boa, but cannot find picture of the ones I have. They do not deviate in size or color no matter what time of year so they must only grow to 5". HELP!!!

Live in southern Indiana. Found a snake in my barn today. It looks like a cottonmouth, however, it has no pits and has round pupils. Can you help me identify it? Thanks...

I'm working out in west texas and lastnight i came across a baby snake. I was wondering what type it was. It was only about 1 ft long, grey to dark grey with one row of black diamonds down its back.

While playing golf last summer, one of our foursome started to step over a small creek. He stopped and called us over. I had never seen a moccasin that close up. It was in the 3 to 3.5 ft. range with a head the size of a canned ham. Moral of the story - keep it in the fairway! (Middle TN)

I live in southern Indiana and when I was a child around 40 years ago I remember playing with green garden snakes, now I have not seen any for at least 25 years. Have they gone extinct in this state or have they just moved on.

A couple of years ago, we killed a snake in our back yard. It was neon green with black checkers down its back (rough scaled) with a bluish belly if i remember correctly. It had a head similar to that of a rattlesnake (diamond shaped) it had fangs as well. Very agressive, fast striker. Closest picture i have to its match was an asian pit viper. We were living in Winter Haven Florida at the time. Any pictures or idea what kind of snake this was?

natalie		28-Aug-2011 05:48

Hey I would put pictures of the snake up but don't know how

Linda		26-Aug-2011 00:44
This morning as I walked across my carporch I saw a small snake about 6 - 8" long beside the steps leading to my pool area. I was in an area that was once a flower bed but now has only mulch, leaves. The snake was very light grey with an almost black head that seemed to resemble an arrowhead. about half way down the body there were dark or black spots that led to a black tail. As I approached the snake it's head seemed to be hooded like a cobra and as it crawled away it seemed to loose the hood somewhat. I went into a white 3 - 4" dia. PVC pipe that goes under the edge of the concrete pool decking that attaches to one side to a the corner of my house (brick)and protrudes out around to the backside of my house. A couple of years ago I found a small dead snake about this same size on the carporch app. 4' from where I saw this one today. That one had something in it's mouth (frog, lizard, ?). I live in southeast Mississippi, Walthall Co. I've watched for snakes since we do have various kinds and I know that there have been 4 rattlesnakes killed very near here within the past 3 weeks, but have not seen any more like these. Could it be a pigmy rattlesnake? Is it poisonous? What should I do to get rid of it? I babysit and I am outside alot. Help!

JB		03-Jun-2011 19:29
Last year I played host to a small (1.5 foot) black snake I assumed to be a black water snake. It was spotted with its head resting on the lily pads in my pond gardens, lapping up the tiny new born frogs like peanuts. This year, I have a SNAKES ON A POND movie playing in my backyard. Yes, there are goldfish in those ponds, but they've been there for 10 years. I have counted 5 individual snakes, all different, in the last week. A 3+foot Garter snake that loves posing for the camera, another 3+foot big brown and redish ringed beast that was mating with a little one on the island - black head but looks alot like a boa. Very shy. Why are all these guys showing up now? BTW- Two years ago and every year before that I had about 30 frogs in those ponds. I now have zero with the exception of tadpoles. Is this a new circle of life? Snakes 5 Frogs 0. Any idea who the ringed beast is? A Northern Water Snake? And how big do these things get? I have my Dad's cane, a golf club, kitch tongs and a pillow case waiting by the ponds. I'm thinking I need to relocate them to a real wild pond up the hill. The ponds are right next to the pool and although I find snakes facinating -- my guests are freakin out.

Kat		31-May-2011 14:05
I found a 2 foot small light orange/brownish snake with a light creamish belly and large black semi-rings. It lives near a pond and very close where I walk my dog. Do I have to to fear for my dog?

I was fishing at my dock in Smith Mtn.Lake va.I was using blue gill as bait.Before I realized what I had on the end of my hook,I had caught a snake.The snake swallowed the hook, blue gill and 6in.of fishing line and never jerked my line or nothing.I was just reeling real slow trying to catch a bass that was right beside the snake.The sun was putting a glare on the water but I felt my line get real heavy and I thought "What in the World"I kept reeling slow and then saw that I was reeling in a snake not a bass.(real scary)I was able to get it in my yard and I killed it with my garden tool.I just would like to know what kind and if this snake is poisonous or not??Thanks for letting me be a guest and tell you my story.

Hi i have found a snake in The Atlanta,Michigan area it was a greenish brown color about 18 inches. it was around the first week of may a couple years ago. It looked like a cobra head the hood and stood up just like a cobra. But i knew it couldnt have been one because they don't live in Michigan. I have looked at pictures and searched on google for ways to find out what kind of snake this was. Can you please email me back with some possibilities what kind of snake this could be. Thanks

Pam		24-Apr-2011 02:46
Standing outside this evening we saw a very tiny snake. It was skinnier but longer than an earthworm and was white, coral or opaque in color - difficult to discern due to the darkness. I was surprised we saw the little guy at all because it was dark and he was so very tiny. What might he be?? Thank you for any help.

Mary		15-Apr-2011 05:05
Yet another question for you. We are on a river in Eastern Washington State and last summer I watched an amber/ochre/yellow brown snake stretch vertically in the water while tail was wrapped around a rock under water. It remained almost motionless with only it's head facing upstream. length was approximately 2 feet to 2 and a half feet. No other coloration with a definite scale pattern. I watched it stay under water as well. I have Googled everything, but only come up with garter snakes with stripes for our region which this did not have. Thanks for any help! Love your picture gallery.

Hello. I live near Houston, Texas, far enough away to have trees and water sources. I recently saw a beautiful snake in my very overgrown yard. It was: 4 ft. at least, thicker at its middle, smooth, slender head which it held about 10 in. upright and still for many minutes, dark gray-olive back, definite yellow belly, white and yellow speckles very random in placement and shape. So mad I didn't think to take a photo, it was amazing. Do you know what it was? Thank you for any information! Ann

Hello, Need help identifying a snake on our property. The snake appeared to be a baby. Was reddish brown. Looks like there are two lines of black squares going down the center of its back from head to tail. Looked whitish-grey on the under belly. The head kinda looked greyish with a black ring around it's neck. The eyes appeared to have a black shade around it too. We live in the Tampa Bay Area in Florida. We also do have a swampy marsh next to us. I do have a couple of pictures of it. Please e-mail me as soon as possible. I have two samll children and a dog and want to be sure it isnt poisinous. Thanks a bunch! MEL

Brandon, I saw a snake with your descprition last night. A small 6 to 8 inch black snake with a red ring at the base of the neck. A friend said that he has them in his yard which is located in Magnolia Springs. After looking online I believe it to be a southern ringneck snake. They don't get much bigger.

Brandon		01-Sep-2010 03:32
Sorry I forgot to mention, I am located in Southern Alabama about 8 miles from the Gulf. Like I said they appear 4-8 inches long being what looks like a black color but yet with a reddish tint to them and a black ring around the back of their necks, we have found of them in our work place, we are just curious to what types of snakes these babies may be, when in doubt where there are baby snakes there is a mamma or daddy snake not to far behind so with that being another reason I am curious to what type of snake this may be. Thanks Again Brandon

Brandon		01-Sep-2010 03:29
I am curious of something, we have came across now 3 snakes in my work place. I am not sure what kind it is. I can tell you that they are babies maybe 4-8 inches long, they appear black with a reddish tint to them, The one found today had what appeared a red ring up around the back of it's head. I can not remember if the other 2 we found had that red ring or not. Could you possibly email me and inform me to what type of snakes these may be? Thank You, Brandon

Hi was just wondering if somebody could help me ID a snake that my mother say in her cornish (inland) garden, UK. It was about 2-3 feet long, when she first saw it, it was coiled up looking at her then slowly moved off, it was slim, pea green underbelly, black on the top, she didnt notice any other markings, and was hoping to catch it but it vanished before she could do so, weve checked snake sites but just cant find any match. We were wondering if it was an escaped pet, but would just like to know the name of it. Thankyou. Deb

vincent		13-Aug-2010 08:00

tj		08-Aug-2010 16:21
It is a baby snake but when he is scared he will flatten his neck and when that happens it's neck looks copper color so I thought it was a copper head but when you look at his head its eyes are round and the pattern on it body is brown black line then a light brown then a black line then brown again . Its head is blunt to me but I might be wrong if you need a picture send me a email so I can send you a picture.

Carrie		06-Aug-2010 15:19
I found a small snake in my house -- I think it had brown/grey blotches, but the most distinctive feature was that the inside of its mouth was red! It was about a foot long, maybe 1/4 inch wide -- looked like a baby. We live in Florida, Palm Beach County. Any idea what it is? Thanks so much!

I have a snake at my place in Maine. It is 2 feet long and very thin. It also has a silvery back and white belly. I can't find any pictures of one like it. As it reared up half it's length and hissed at me I don't really want to see it again but if I do I'd like to know if I should worry or not. I know there are no poisonous snakes native to Maine but you never know what they neighbors have had and lost. Any help would be great. Thanks.

My wife found fat snake 18" long golden brown with what she believed to have a diamond shaped pattern with turquoise in the middle. Any one have a thought of what kind of snake this was.We have plenty of king snakes around but I was worried that this snake may be dangerous for our grand kids that stay with us.

Hi.I live in Alabama and we have a lot of snakes.I saw one the other day that scared me to death.The snake was about 5-6 feet in length it was a pretty good size around maybe 2-3 inches girth.I have never seen a snake like this before.He was solid black, except the last few feet of his tail, it was a chocolate brown color.He was massive in size.He moved very fast and was gone in a flash.Do you know what kind of snake this was?I have searched the net far and wide to find one and have not yet.Please help if you can.I don't kill them,but would love to know what is living around me.I don't want to be afraid if he is harmless.Thanks so much.

I went on vacation to eastern wa, i was walking aside the Columbia river when I saw a tiny snake maybe 4-5 inches long, it went into a small bush if shrubs but the color and design is what stood out. It was a bright neon-blue with a black head and a small white stripe seperating both colors. I've tried looking it up to find out what snake it was but havint found anything?

deb		20-Jun-2010 16:51
Was in Florida in the orlando region and was going into my condo at night and on the brick pathway saw what I thought was a twig of a tree. It was light tan with what looked like brown rings going around it. What kind of snake is it.

Jen		12-Jun-2010 01:52
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area (Fremont, CA) and just saw a thin shiny black snake with some bright green bands on its body hiding on the garage floor of a currently vacant house. What is it? Is it poisonous? Tried to trap it with a bucket, but it got away. Now, I'm afraid I may come across it again. Help. Jennie

Recently I was at mom and dad's in western KY. With the help of my brother and mom we have a large garden going. While I was working on their tractor my brother was working in the garden, he called me out there to look at a snake. I am not sure what it was I have never seen one like it. It was solid brown no stripes or spots or anything. It had a bright yellow belly and was at least three inches diameter and about 3 foot long. What do you think it was?

jennykay		20-May-2010 23:25
Hi Tom, I live in Florida and was tilling my raised bed garden when a little light bluish-grey snake appeared. I at first thought maybe it was an earthworm, just a strange color. But it definitely has a tongue like a snake. It has no eyes that we can see though. Can you please help identify. Just curious.

dana		19-May-2010 15:35
i was working out in the yard and felt a little bite, I looked down and found about a 2" long snake (I think) with an arrow shaped head on my leg. It was brown with tan stripes running down it. I live in Austin tx. Any guess what it might be? I'm thinking probably garter but wanted to check. thank you

Jill Haug		19-May-2010 00:20
Hi Tom, I live in Northern KY and found a baby snake while pulling weeds and was trying to identify it. I was thinking it was probably a Garter of some kind, but can't find one that has a red belly. It has black diamond pattern across his back and is a gray color, but no stripes. Any ideas? Thanks, Jill

Suzanne		06-May-2010 23:43
If anyone cares... I have two dogs that were bit in the face by a copperhead a couple years ago. They were dazed and confused with some foaming at the mouth and lots of swelling but within 24 hours they were fine. This scenario played out again this spring already where two (not the same two) of my dogs got bit in the face again... Just like last time, same symptoms, within only a handful of hours they were fine.

Samantha		06-May-2010 21:06
@char: It is rather difficult to tell if snakes are pregnant, but I have bred Garter Snakes for 6 years and the only way to tell, is the skin in between their scales will be constantly white, as if they just ate a big meal. Just remember to separate the mom from the babies within an hour after birth or she will probably eat them. If you have the father as well, separate him from both as soon as she starts giving birth. =3 good luck!

Dan Tullis		23-Apr-2010 02:24

I live 1 hour north of NY City in a wooded area. there are many garter snakes around my house. I came across a baby snake no bigger than a small earthworm. It was dark in color, with white diamonds along its back. It also had a white spot on its head, other than the spot, the head appeared the same shape as a garter. Its tail was the normal slender tip similar to the garter snake. Can anyone help me identify this?

Guest		24-Oct-2009 19:53
Awesome pictures! Thanks to your Eastern Milk Snake photo, I'm more confident that we did not find a baby copper head, but instead a milk snake on our neighbor's door. I released the snake in a wood pile with lots of crickets, spiders, and chipmunks.

Jon Cherry		21-Oct-2009 23:32

I found two diff snakes. The first was tan with <><><> pattern on its back. Any idea what kind? The second was dark in color with markings similar to eastern milk snake. It is young about a foot long. It coils and strikes out while the tail section vibrates quickly. Rattlesnake? Do all snakes coil and shake tails?

Rick Lawson		26-Aug-2009 12:28
Hi, great web site. I found a very small snake in my drive way here in southern, coastal, South Carolina. No bigger then a large worm. Very thin. Small enough that the leaf which was stuck to it's head, via a small piece of spider web, was making it hard for it to move. The skin was very light greyish green. The head was not rounded like a typical green snake, but seemed to be longer and more angular. The head was still very skinny, not angular like a venomous snake, but kind of a long hard edged nose. Once I removed the leaf and put him back on the ground, he quickly took off under the mulch. Any ideas? Thanks! Rick

Laura		20-Aug-2009 16:51
Hi, I saw a long black snake (about 5 to 6 ft.long) with a large head about 5" long and 3 or 4 inches wide. The head had 2 red lines all the way around it. It had eaten a woodrat, so it was calmly lying there eating it's prey. I should have taken a picture of it. I had a brook near my house, so I figure it was a water snake. Could it have been a watermoccasin of some kind?

Kristin Carey		26-Jul-2009 15:28
My neighbor has been finding, via the cats mostly, very small gray snakes with white bellies and they are very uniform in color. We live right in Austin, TX. I have relocated the ones that are still alive to my yard and thus far have found them to be fairly docile or at least in shock from the cats. I don't see anything that looks like them on this page . Could someone assist me further?

Cindi		23-Jul-2009 00:09
I saw a Teal and Black snake in my flowerbed. Now, I don't care for snakes, but the teal was awesome along it's belly with the black. A "pretty" snake. What kind is it? I live in Florida on brackish Lake Harney and it looked like it had just eaten something large, as there was anoticable bulge as it slid along. What is it?

heather		13-Jul-2009 22:12
i was out back and i saw a small, like 1 and a half foot long, thin baby snake. on the bottom half, it was grayish- brown, and on the top half it was the same color, except speckled on the sides. the speckles looked like a cheetah's. it was scared for its life and was trying frantically to figure out how to get out of the screen so i left to get a camera and when i got back thirty seconds later it was gone. i looked everywhere and i couldn't find it. does anyone know what kind it was?

Marv Parks		10-Jul-2009 14:30
While cutting my long grass July 4th weekend I came across a very skinny foot long grey snake with a white ring around its head. Very timid and let me pick it up before it made a panic attempt to escape. It slithered off about 5 feet away in deep grass and I came across it again about 10 minutes later as I mowed closer to the woods--I really think it was curious as to what I was doing to its home. I have seen many green, black, brown snakes around my yard as it is at the edge of the woods and has a brook running through it, but never one looking like this. Searching this site helped me identify it as a Northern Ring Necked snake, but why just now am I seeing it after 30 years of mowing this same yard ? Good work on this site. Marv-St George, Maine

Maegan		17-Jun-2009 19:08
OKAY.My six year old little girl goes into the house and comes back out screaming and crying"mommy there is a snake in the kitchen" So i Hop out of the pool and run in prepared with a sharp shooter shovel and sure enough there IT was.. greenish grey with a green belly gliding across my kitchen floor... Im soo not happy about it either. I dont have a clue what kind it was but that sucker was aggressive ..anyhow he is no longer with us... but its crazy how when u least expect it anything could happen

kathleen		27-May-2009 16:14
Last summer, on a hot night in Central Virginia, I was walking down my sidewalk from my front door to my car. I came across a curled up snake with his head up, in an aggressive stance. Lucky, my car door was open and I was able to jump into the car and close the door. The snake literally 2' from my car door stared upwards at me, as if to say 'I'm watching you'! I called my husband in the house from my cell phone (from the car) and he came out to see the snake still ready to strike. He went around the snake and got a hoe, where he proceeded to chop it in half. The snake was a Copperhead! Thankfully my dog didn't follow me out of the house, because she would have sought out the snake and got bit. Why was this snake so aggressive? Why was it territorial? We never found babies (as I've heard they are protective). It was so scary....I don't mind snakes, but I don't like to be surprised by them.......

Mary		27-May-2009 00:32
Fine photographs! Today I found what I'm sure is a small brown snake (Storeria dekayi) in N. Central Massachusetts. It had a very beautiful design on its head and I have not seen such a design in any of the photos I've seen of brown snakes. Any ideas? Thank you.

Mary		06-Apr-2009 14:08
I found a baby snake in my yard, I live in WV. I don't know if I killed it with my lawn mower or if my cats killed it but I am concerned that it might be a copperhead. It had a brownish color top part of its body, the underneath was red. The head was gone and its tail looked blunt. Actually I thought it was a nightcrawler when I first saw it. We have a large pile of logs near where this snake was laying. My husband didn't think it was a copperhead but my son does. Concerned I might need to be a little more careful in catching nightcrawlers............What do you think?????

Hi. I was in Orlando recently and one morning I found a small snake by the pool. It was about 20 inches long and thin. Color was light brown kinda zig-zag pattern on the back and it had two large white dots on the head. When I tried to "lead" it out of the pool area it attacked several times before it slid into the pool and started swimming around, trying to get up. When I tried to lift it out of the water, it attacked while swimming, which I found a little strange, since I didn't know that snakes could bite while swimming. I wonder what kind of snake it was, hope somebody can help me.

Ron Blair		03-Oct-2008 02:27
First of all, great picture gallery. I live in Caliente Nevada and my job takes me on a lot of dirt roads. Today, while crossing Coal Valley, about 120 miles north of Las Vegas near the Lincoln-White Pine county line, I stopped for a "break" and saw a small greenish snake a few feet away. I always stop and move snakes off of the road and as I approached this one, it reared up and began a rapid, writhing display straight at me. It was nearly as green as an Eastern Sm Green but with a brilliant red belly like a Northern Brown. Could a Northern Red Belly be found in the high desert of Southern Nevada? I see Gopher snakes and rattlers all the time and an occasional Coach-whip but this was a real surprise.

Hey Tom, I know you're probably loving the questions right now. I live in Florida and on my outdoor patio today I bent down and put my face into a tiny little all black moving twig. At first, I thought it was a worm but it moved in the curving S pattern of a snake. Light shined off of it but the snake was all black. His rear actually looked larger than his head. I thought he might grow out of this. He was not aggressive toward me but most living creatures aren't--no matter how wild. What do you think . . . baby racer?

John		14-Sep-2008 15:44
I found a black snake with a red ring around it's head at the beginning of it's body. I think it may be a Ring snake, but I am not sure. I live in Sarasota, FL.

We live in Colorado and we're technically in the plains though the mountains (Pikes Peak) are only about 8 miles from us as the crow flies. The kids and I were walking around the block and the 2 year old ran right by a little snake. We stopped to look at it (we catch garters in our yard all the time), but I told the kids not to touch it. It had markings with which I was unfamiliar. After looking through your pictures, I think it was the Hopi species Western Rattlesnake. Would that snake be right on the sidewalk catching some sun in a residential area?

Drewid		01-Sep-2008 18:51
I found a baby snake out my front door of my house and this little guy is over aggressive and shakes his tail wildly and trys to strikes bout 3/4 of the time he's got the body of a milk snake but its very aggressive, I got some picutes of it. I'd be thankfull if ya hit me back, im currious on findin out what breed he is

My dog killed a snake on Saturday It was blackish grey with green octagon shapes on his back he was 2 foot long and was striking at the dogs. We live about 40 miles east of atlanta. Could it be some type of garter snake?

Hi People, I need some help. We killed a snake infront of my apartment here in VIrginia.I have a phobia of snakes. I mean the worst phobia and I cant rest until I find out if this snake is poisonous. It was a baby, meaning it was only 7 inches at the most, but he was brown-army green and he is rough not shiny looking . I have a fear that the mother snake is somewhere around these apartments are easy to slide into LOL there old and there are cracks everywhere . Help someone and tell me what kind of snake this is so I can sleep I have been up 48 hours .

Barry		08-Aug-2008 13:52
Tom, I am trying to identify a particular snake. I do not have a picture and really do not know its region. The snake is reddish brown with the belly being similar in color, the inside of its mouth is white, and it has no visible teeth. I believe the snake will grow to lengths of 5 feet or better. Any thoughts, or even better pictures? I realize this is not a lot to go on. Please copy your post to e-mail or at least notify me when you respond. Thanks, Barry

Tom Murray		27-Jul-2008 23:02

Tom, While playing outside in eastern alabama, I saw a brown baby snake (about the size of a worm) with a white ring around its neck. I also saw a medium size brown snake (about 15-20 inches long) nearby. Do you know what species it may be?

Tom Murray		26-Jul-2008 21:22
Kat, as far as I can tell, the only venomous snake in Washington state is a Northern Pacific Rattlesnake. So if you see a snake without a rattle, chances are that it's harmless. Maybe what you described as black with blue stripes is a racer, or garter snake. It's hard to say without seeing it.

Kat Hemburg		26-Jul-2008 16:59
Hi, My husband was in the back chopping down foliage and such, when a medium sized black snake with blue stripes slithered out of the bushes. One of my kids tried to pick it up and I got very worried because there might be more snakes in my yard and i don't want my kids to get bitten. My husband told me since we live in Western Washington there are no venomous snakes. But i still want to know what kind of snake it is just to be sure. I'm from the south and i know what can happen with snake bites. Please help.

Tom Murray		03-Jul-2008 22:01
Kay, It's hard to tell for sure what snake you have around your pool, but my guess would be a milk snake. They're found from Texas north to the Dakotas, and all the way through the east coast, and sometimes they'll shake their tail when they're nervous.

Tom Murray		03-Jul-2008 21:53
Jennifer, the closest I can come up with for your snake is a Queen Snake.

Jennifer		03-Jul-2008 03:00
Tom, in my yard in West Alabama (Marengo Couunty) I found a color combination of a snake I had never seen before. It was smooth scaled, dark grey in body color (color of a tree branch) but with some lines as if painted with a watercolor brush of darker grey vertically down the body, then a teal (not kidding) thin line that divided the top of the body from the belly. The belly was yellow. I have no idea what shape the head was, as my husband killed it before he noticed. It waws about 24 to 30 inches long. The thickest part of the body was larger than a half-dollar coin. Any idea what it is?

KAY OGDEN		28-Jun-2008 20:34
90 MILES PER HOUR AND IT HAD TEETH. IT KEPT ATTACKING A SMALL FOAM FLOATIE AS I WAS TRYING TO MOVE HIM AWAY FROM MY GRANDCHILD. I HAVE HAD LITTLE SNAKES LIVE UNDER OR BESIDE MY INGROUND POOL YEAR ROUND, BUT I NEVER SAW ONE LIKE THIS. COULD THIS MAMAUL BE PREGNANT? MOVED VERY SLOW. IT ALSO HAD A PIANO LOOKING, BLAKE AND WHITE BELLY SCATTERED ON THE BELLY. WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS WAS? KAY@KAYSINTERIOR.COM MASS ON NH BORDER NICE SHOW YOU HAVE HERE.

A friend and I stumbled upon a snake on northfield Mountain in Irving, MA that I've IDed as a milk snake... BUT it definitely made a rattling sound... Am I crazy or does it have a rattler? Is there another species that looks like the milk snake that is a rattler? Thanks!

Tom Murray		14-Jun-2007 03:11
Tay, black racers don't have any venom. They'll bite if you pick them up, but other than a few scratches they leave, there aren't any other bad effects.

tay		13-Jun-2007 23:06
do black racers have poison

Janice Dunn		30-May-2007 02:04
Hi Tom, another impressive gallery. In New Zealand we don't have any snakes and they are not allowed in our zoos either. So I am intriqued with these snakes of yours. So many different kinds and colours. The sizes are a bit hard to guess on the photos, but well done on your display, Thank you Janice

Tom Murray		24-May-2007 00:55
The only watersnake I know of in New England is the Northern Watersnake. Cottonmouths are a more southern species.

Guest		22-May-2007 11:05
Aren't there Cottonmouths in New England?

Tom Murray		05-Oct-2006 01:57
Katie, if the snake has rough scales, then it's a red-bellied, and if the scales are smooth, then it's a brown phase ring-necked snake. The only venomous snakes in New England are timber rattlers, and copperheads, and they aren't in any part of Maine. All the red-bellies and ringnecks I've found, none has ever tried to bite, and they will put out that musk when scared.

Katie		04-Oct-2006 17:41
oh forgot to mention. Baby lets out a mild musk when scared and she is always in a ready to strike pose thing but she never does bite, will she ever bite me? I had no fear when I was little but I'm a little more cautious now. Oh, baby was with I think a sibbling when I caught her, the sib was quick and got away but I was able to catch Baby ( I feel awful cause now baby lost her bro or sis)

Katie		04-Oct-2006 17:36
hey, I live in maine and im 13. Well I found a snake simmilar to the brown phase Red-bellied Snake. Very simmilar, though my snake I caught seems a little different. I was wondering if you might think its venomous... I dont need anything killing me in my sleep, but 'Baby' (my snake) is very good but shy and stuff. he/she doesnt like my kitty though but doesnt do anything.

Wow you see things more often then I do! Everytime I encounter a snake, it runs like heck before I get my gear prepared.

Weston, all the snakes except for the cottonmouth and racer(Florida) were shot in Massachusets. Tom
