What did I kill

[gcp]

Can you identify this snake for me please? I hope it turns out to be poisonous but in retrospect it doesn't appear to be.

You don't show where you are but if you are in the southeast it may be a Brown Water Snake.

Looking at head and tail shape I vote not poisonous.

I vote thatiIt is a rat/corn snake they come in various colors depending on where they are totally harmless.

I agree. Don't know if that's the proper scientific term but we'd call that a corn snake around here. It is not only harmless to humans but is quite beneficial in terms of rodent control.

And its a beautiful creature to boot.

it looks like one of the saber-toothed-rattle-mocasins that are quite elusive. And if that doesnt help with identification - Just call it DEAD... LOL

From the size of it I'd say 'dinner'!

From a quick glance at your photo, at first I thought it was a 2 headed snake and you only killed one of them.

Hey!! That looks a lot like my pet gopher snake. He escaped last week. OMG what did you do to him?
