Found something in my yard today!!
 

I guess it was living Flipper. I started working on Flipper today and found it under the hood on the ground when I came back out from getting a drink. I almost made it a pet but JJ said "NO F*CKING WAY" So he went for a swim in the river. (I just couldn't hurt thr little guy).

i don't know snakes by sight very well, what kind is it?

Sure looks like a copperhead to me. They are naturally found here and poisonous.

Looks like a queen snake. They taste good cooked on a grill. Kind of like chicken.

We always just called them black snakes. I don't think they can really hurt you other then the pain of a bite but there mean as h*ll!!! These things will chase after you!!:eek:

Love snakes...they are so cool.

Yea, well this queen snake or black snake is a copperhead.

Notice the pattern on the snake found?

uh oh. Did the snake smell like cucumbers?

I found one in my garage just like it a while back, i looked it up and i think it is a common Rat snake.

Eyes can give away the snake as being venomous or not.

Looking more like a water snake or rat snake to me. All copperheads I have ever seen have been light-brown.

About 5 years ago we found 2 about 6' long in one of our sheds we were cleaning out Freaked me the F*ck out they almost landed on me! LOL
I got a garbage can for um and took them down river also.

It's just a Black snake or Black rat snake they are by far the biggest snakes in OH. There constrictors and not venomis. BUT THEY ARE MEAN ASS H*LL! lol

Can't say I (smelled) it. :D
