Snake ID

[Bow-TechAggie]

What kind is this?

[bwssr]

soon to be dead....kinda looks like a rat snake

[lglidewell]

it looks like a juvenile cottonmouth, but the tail is throwing me off a tad. That's about the only snake I'll kill.

[A&M 90]

Interesting.

Looks like a cross between a moccasin and a copperhead.

[solocam_aggie]

Not quite sure. He doesn't look too friendly though

[SB09]

What shape were his pupils? They look round in that picture.

Looks like a Banded Water snake that feels threatened. They will flatten their heads out like that to appear bigger. Kind of resembling a venomous snakes head shape.

This... Id say Juvi CM but have to say this is a tough ID

[Bigdaddy]

I'd say cotton mouth

[Tryton]

That's a broad banded water snake. 100%

[Clint]

Is it's nose turned up?

It's hard to tell but looks like it could be a hognose.

I see the same thing. If it were a Cottonmouth I'd think he'd be showing you where he got his name. You usually see the insides of their mouths when they're threatened.

[morris_mat]

looks like cotton mouth to me. I would kill it along with every other snake

[Playa]

That's a juvenile copperheadedrattlemoccasin! RUN!

[Patton]

Is it's nose turned up?

It's hard to tell but looks like it could be a hognose.

Interesting pattern, but this is what I see as well. Pupils also look round in the picture

Juvi Cottonmouth

I rescind my previous vote. On further inspection I have to concur that it is a broad banded water snake.
