I got two snakes this week. The first one came off of our deer lease that we have had for 18 years and never seen a rattler. His head fell off.


The second one was in my yard yesterday afternoon. He was very docile. I played with him for a little. He didn't really try to get away he just climbed around on my snake tongs. He then musked and it smelled like he died. I took him 100 yards from the house and let him go. He climbed a cedar tree to get away from me. He was pretty much all black on the back.
I asked my son to take his picture and this is the only picture I got. It wasn't what I was expecting.
What kind is he? Can you tell with such a crappy picture? He was really smooth without a pattern that I could see. About 5 feet long and as big around as a golf ball. You can see his head at the top of the picture. He is doubling back to the camera.
