Weekly snake thread

I couldn't get a picture because I was carrying fishing gear, but a cornsnake(best guess) slithered across the walkway between the dunes to the beach while I was on vacation. The guy in front of me turned around and said, "I think it's a copperhead." I couldn't help but bust out laughing. I reassured him that copperheads have no red on them whatsoever.

What kind of snake is this? I am quite sure it is not venomous with the long skinny body and round eyes, but I hope some of you know a good bit more about snakes than I do. It was stuck to the tape on a box my brother used to move some stuff.

What say yee @Burt Gummer ? I got it out of a neighbors swimming pool.
If it's a water S it walks. If it's a penny head it don't. Unless you want to come get it.
They have kids, and I have dogs. I'm thinking a Northern water. Just want to be sure.

Looks like a Corn Snake. Sad to see it like that they are fun snakes to have around.

Nice find. Plain bellied water snake. Looks like a good sized one
That was number 1….the second came peepin in the garage while I was piddlin’ around. Quite a bit smaller than the first, may have been a male after the female.

There was a watersnake under the dock at the lake in Snow Camp I was at on Monday. My nephew that is afraid of water that had just been convinced to get in the water is the one that saw it. It wanted nothing to do with us and swam off.

That’s one you might mistake as a juvenile rat snake and grab with just a quick look!
I wouldnt grab either but agree on the confusion / similarity.
