Re: Identify this snake: North Texas
I don't know what it is, but I would have been incredibly excited to see it in person.

Re: Identify this snake: North Texas
Native Texan here........that is a copperhead!! I catch them all the time and remove them from my yard. Haven't had any in a few years since we removed a big female and all the babies and relocated them. Cottonmouths are much darker and their pattern is different. We have a ton of both snakes down here in SE Texas and if you plan on going out in the woods (or my yard, lol) or fishing, you better be familiar with them. The copperhead has that beautiful color and is just a gorgeous snake in my opinion.

Re: Identify this snake: North Texas
Thanks everyone!
To those that think this is a beautiful animal: I would agree, but I never want to be surprised by one again! Really, after looking up and seeing it only five feet away, in a strike pose, just staring at me... I am surprised that I didn't have to change my underwear!
But really, I do somewhat regret not taking more pictures... I was so startled I just wanted to get out of there.
For those that want to download the photos, I have put all of the photos into a .zip file that you can download here:

My very first thought when I saw the picture was "Venomous" just from the shape of it's head.
This picture is the closest to it (If not it) so far

Re: Identify this snake: North Texas
def a copperhead, awesome snakes, but give them a wide berth. When you don't know what species it is, its always best to just stay away.
