Help identifying snake...
 

Okay...killed this little thing in the backyard today...anyone have any clue what it is?

...and here it is

Copperhead?

I'm glad I don't live by you. Jesus!!!

Definitely a copperhead.
Do you live in a wooded area?

copperhead

GawdDAMN! I'd just die.

That'd be my first guess... and enough for me to kill it. (I'll let the ones I think are harmless go)

I'm no expert though.

Looks like a copperhead. Why did you kill it? They do a hell of a lot more good than harm.

I should have said, "Enough for me to kill it, or run like hell!"

I haven't ever seen a copperhead around here but I know we have them to...you can tell its posionous by the shape of his head...good kill now go around and kill all you find. Good snake is a dead snake! Just my opinion I know everyone doesn't feel the same way!

Killed it because it was stationed right outside the backyard where the boy likes to sit. Better it than the boy...or the dogs...plus the woman would be petrified.

If that thing is on your patio and lets say you have animals/kids around... are you going to look for something to carefully transport the snake to your neighbors; maybe something else?

I'm gonna ****ing chop the serpents head off with a garden hoe.

I'm not so sure that's a copperhead...
The wiki pics have the light patterns as being more dominant NOT the dark patterns as in this pic.
