Corn snake or copperhead

[tprice]

We were taking down a ladder stand yesterday and my hunting partner’s BIL all of a sudden jump up like a cat on hot tin roof

He almost stepped on this sucker, kind of comical to watch him after that

He said it was a copperhead, I took a quick pic and went about what we were doing . Looked at it later and not sure it was a copperhead or a corn snake

He took a stick and threw it over in woods , probably less than 18” long

That is not a copperhead, bit I could not tell you what it is.

That top picture has canebrake colors, but the markings are different in some way.

It's a pigmy rattlesnake. Hognose snakes can have a similar pattern but the head shape is different.

I was teetering on juvie coachwhip but have never seen a pygmy rattlesnake. Help me recognize the differences between the eastern hognose and pygmy.

Hope you didn’t put that one in a jar for the kids to play with.

You do realize that zephyr is our resident snake expert. I wouldn’t doubt that ID.

Starts with pigmy, hognose @1:13, pine snake @2:00.

[BigBrother]

All snakes are non-poisonous.

I don't study herpes but that's a rat snake.
And I'd kill it.

Copperhead is about the easiest snake out there to ID yet is probably by far the snake most confused with others. It seems as if every non-black snake without rattles is a copperhead and every snake in the water is a moccasin.
