Snake in garage in Ohio - wonder what it is?

[MikeDog]

Is this a black rat snake? Or a copperhead? It was in our garage this evening.

Not a copperhead. But probably a rat snake of some sort.

Also, this website is good if you're interested in learning more about your state reptiles: Ohio's Reptiles: Lizards, Snakes, Turtles (http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/Home/resources/reptiles/reptiles/tabid/5684/Default.aspx)

Thank you! I definitely looks like an Eastern Foxsnake. Not the most common snake around here.

Cool snake regardless of breed. I don't get to see many in the wild.
