It favors a young Kingsnake. They can many different colors when young. Possibly (milksnake). Also a kingsnake. need better pics and closer up, Also how did it act.

My first reaction was that it looked a lot like a burmese python this dude had in college, just a lot smaller.

I was wondering if it was some sort of garter snake, but the pattern I saw seemed pretty distinct and the picture doesnt really match at all...I dunno.
 
Also we have brown water snakes around here but they dont get up you guys way much.....your snake favors it very much. Def. not a garter....water, king, or a loose breeded pet....triangle shaped head has venom, except coral and it looks red yellow and black...if normal looking head then you have no rodent problems as long as he hangs out or util he scares the wife

I was leaving the house going down the front steps to move the sprinkler when I saw him stretched out across our sidewalk. I guess he was getting some food because he was heading out to the wet grass. I hopped over him, moved the sprinkler, and when I came back, he had turned around and was heading for cover in the shrubbery bed along the house. I got the camera, he had slithered along the foundation and eventually down a crack between the bricks and where the clay-dirt had dried and pulled away from the foundation.

I tried to pick it up with a stick under his belly, he didnt like it, but just compressed his lenght by making SSSS shapes. He didnt' face off like he was gonna strike or anything.
 
Looks like a black snake to me, leave it, keeps the rodents and copperheads away.

The blacksnakes around here are actually black and have basically no pattern. My wife says its a patterned gray snake, haha.
 
thats a garter snake
 
one that needs to be dead. but then again i go out of my way to kill all snakes.
 
too dark to be a copperhead and the head is not wide enuf, body is not fat enuf and not a garter because it does not have the line down the top of back also the scales are very slick

It is either a water snake or a copperhead, the damn marking sure look like a copperhead, pull up some pics

Definitely not a copperhead. The copperhead is a pit viper, meaning its head would be much larger, and very obviously shaped. The snake pictured is far too slender to be a pit viper.

Probably not a water snake either...those are generally brownish in color, intended to match that of a cottonmouth (also a pit viper.)
 
Looks like a black cotton mouth rattle moccason to me! Snakes around my house "if seen" don't last long!
 
we call them rat snakes around here.Don't know if that is the proper name.The one's I have caught around the house all have a slightly green tinge with the same pattern.Let it live and be free.A good snake there.Now if it was poisonous (which this one isn't),it would get the axe.
 
Non venomous for sure. Growing up on a farm all snakes were welcome. Dad taught me how to catch black snakes since I was young to keep in the corn crib for rodent patrol. Had a few pretty garden snakes as pets kept in aquariums. But I think of guys that are snake killers as mama's boy pansies... :flipoff2: Wussies for another term.
 
I like how everyone seems to know exactly what it is, but everyone has a different answer.:fuck-you:




I heard some good guesses, and it is definitely a constrictor which looks like either a corn snake, juvenile black rat snake or a mole kingsnake, but its hard to tell from those pics.
