Someone please tell me what kind of snake this is. A guy I work with says it is a copperhead. I think it is a bull snake.
Tim and I both think it is a bull snake.
If it is a Cessna Snake, it is more than likely a Citation or a Caravan.
Not a copperhead. Their color patches are more red, larger, plainer and not so busy. I vote bull snake.
Not a copperhead, look at the long skinny tail. This is a good snake, he eats copperheads and mice. Don't kill it!
If it has a triangular shaped head, better stay away.
We don't kill snakes out here. We try to leave them alone and let them go away if possible. Anyway, on facebook, we all agree it is a bull snake, not a copperhead. It was a small snake, about 1.5 feet long. I got as close as I was going to get. Anyway, it left on its own.
Waldo, it could have been a Cessna Skycatcher which is the smallest plane we make. LOL
Was it a snake in the grass?
It could be a sneaky snake, be careful cause he will drink all of your rootbeer. Tom T. Hall.
It is a BAD snake because all good snakes are dead ones. :laugh:
Janet- We had one in the yard yesterday that the Substitute Schwans man saw. Seaton identified it for me as a bull snake.
I think bull snakes are to be good mousers. If they are in the barn in a place that i don"t go much, i leave them be.
If they are neer the parking area, house, or chickens, It's off with their heads! People being around doesn't seem
to bother them much.
Janet,
I can evern answer this one since it is not in front of me and I am pounding it will a shovel. It is in the family of the bull snake. A Copperhead has more of a round design and bright copper, like a new penny.
Ol Sarge says that aint a snake. that's the size of worm he uses for fish bait---but we all know how windy ol Sarge is !!!
Definitely a Bullsnake, a Copperhead has much brighter distinct colors. When I worked for the Dentons they kept Blacksnakes and Bullsnakes in and around the buildings and noone was to bother them. Many times I would reach up to turn the light switch on in the Barn south of town and there would be a big snake laying on the 2x4 next to the light switch. As Guy would always remind me, "you don't see any rats or mice around the buildings".

That's true!
One thing for darn sure: It's not a trouser snake.
hahahahahahahaha~~~ For the love of the lord! hahahahahahahahahaha
No class around here, no class at all. >:( ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
You're wrong Diane. There's a lot of class here, just very little couth.
Now, there's a term from my childhood...It's one of the many that you never hear in the modern lexicon...It's right up there with: Gentleman...Lady....Curmudgeon...Shame...Disgrace...Being ashamed...Setting a good example...
Someone needs to start a thread where we could list words/terms that have disappeared from general use...Or not. It's too close to summertime to be starting up any thread where a body might be forced to have to think...
Thank you all for your responses. It was not a grass snake because it was on the concrete, silly. As for the trouser snake remark, all I can say is this... Rudy, the things you think of. LOL
Well, now I know that slinky fellow had to be a Bull Snake. For sure it started a line of bull that goes from here to Kansas City! ;) ;D ;D
