Looks like a Copperhead to me:dontknow:

VERY POISONOUS!!!

 

[scoobert]

copperhead, lol. that's a kill jack snake!
nice snake wesal. your new pet?

 

[viperhauler]

it's either a milk snake (non poisonous) or a coral snake (poisonous)

i think...

milk is orange/black/yellow

and coral is black/yellow/orange on the rings...

i think i'm remembering that right...

it's hard to tell with your crappy phone:aetsch:

you guys keep yelling coral snake (and no offence to the snake lovers) Im gonna hunt it down with the shovel.

Really don't think it is a coral though.

 

[scoobert]

coral is unlikely to bite you. they have a hard time to bite people. but i would not put one in my mouth either.....

Coral or king snakes are in florida.....Coral is deadly poisonous King is non poisonous....If Black touches yellow can kill a fellow( better check that saying for verification about the coral snake) Don't mess with either type is the best policy..

 

[viperhauler]

i bet my truck it's not a copperhead....

but remember this, wes...

Red next to black is a friend of Jack; red next to yellow will kill a fellow." referring to the bands of color...

 

[viperhauler]

king or milk...that's my bet...

[wesalbert]

black is between red and yellow... so no coral.
I'm smart enough to stay away, but got to dogs that go outback.

 

[TNVIPER]

compared pictures and it looks to be a Scarlet kingsnake....definitely not a Coral..

 

[wesalbert]

Looks like a red milk snake to me.

I'm to use to the black snakes down here... refered to as a water moccasin

 

[viperhauler]

from wiki...

The Milk Snake (Lampropeltis triangulum; French: Couleuvre tachetée; Spanish: Culebra-real coralillo)[1] is a species of king snake. There are 25 subspecies among the milk snakes, including the commonly named scarlet kingsnake (L. t. elapsoides).[1]

thought so...

red milk snake & scarlet kingsnake are same snake....I would agree..
