Hello, I saw this snake and filmed it in my brothers yard, just feet from his house. I'm trying to figure out what kind it is. It had to be near 2 feet long. My original video is more clear and sharp than this Youtube video, but I can't help that. This is in southwest Missouri about 50 miles north of Springfield. Thanks

None of the above.
It's an eastern hognose snake- harmless.

Thanks Herpin Man. I believe your right. I pulled up a still image out of the video with a cool video program I have. I think it gives a clearer look at the snake.

That's a very nice looking specimen. Most of the Eastern hogs up my way are very dark colored.
