What kind of Snake is this?

He was very aggressive, tried biting my dog. Is he poisonous?

Thank You.

Eastern coachwhip...Harmless but not afraid to fight back.

Thank you. So if he does ever bite one of our Great Danes there is nothing to worry about?

That is a beautiful Coachwhip, I wish they were more common in my neck of the woods. It couldn't even scratch your Great Danes, but they could kill it with one bite.

Nope. That guy will not hurt a Great Dane. And may consume any mice or other rodents on your property.

What about this guy. he comes around quite a bit with teeth showing.

Yellow Rat Snake. You must be in Florida. It is also harmless.

Wow. I'd love to have coachwhips and yellow rats in my backyard. As mentioned both are harmless and will keep the rodent population down in your area.

Bah. Nothing in Chicago.
