Help identifying snake please

It looks like a banded red snake (Dinodon rufozonatum).

But it's from the wrong part of the world. Either way, chasing it and smacking it with a stick isn't the best way to handle the situation. There's no need to be afraid of it, just respect it and if it starts hanging around, either get a herper to come move it or start looking for the food source that's keeping it there.

I don't know a darn thing about rattlers in Texas. But I do know the Muskoka rattler that I was bitten by when I was a kid. I caught him and pinched his mouth open and brought him to camp to show my friends dad. Then he freaked, told me to get rid of it and I let it go, and it got me as I dropped it. (was 10-12)


And Yes I have figured out that Rat snake is not a short form for Rattle

I looked up Texas Rattle found this. (Most people probably did, but anyways)

Sweet-water Texas Rattler

I am pretty sure it wasn't a rattlesnake, it didn't have rattles or huge fangs.

It ruined my sleep. I was woken up at 6:30 because the dogs were going crazy.
