Re: What Kind of Snake is this?
Hello and welcome,
Where did you get the snake from? WHY would you take in a snake not knowing if it is venomous or not first?

Re: What Kind of Snake is this?
Welcome! I've never seen a snake like that one so I'm no help. A better picture might help. it's sure got a pretty pattern though.

Re: What Kind of Snake is this?
I have to 3rd the idea that picking up a snake before you know what species is it is unwise. It's not just for your own safety that you know what it is *first*, but for the safety of anyone around you, especially if you bring the thing home. Thing like that give those of us who are responsible a bad reputation, so I suggest you pick-up some literature that will help you identify the snakes in your area *before* you get yourself into a situation, and when you do see them and can identify them, please-please-please leave them where you find them. It's where they belong.

Re: What Kind of Snake is this?
I agree with everyone above me that it's not a good idea to pick up a snake you're not familiar with.
That being said, I think you found a pine snake. Not sure where in the US you are, but it looks a lot like my Florida pine snake.

Florida pine snake:
That's what the snake you picked up reminded me of. You might've picked up a different locality. It's hard to tell if we don't know where you picked it up.

Re: What Kind of Snake is this?
Looks like a Goins king snake to me. Not venomous, the only non viper in the US is the coral snake and they are tricolored.
Pattern on the head gives it away.
Also there's venomous snakes, not poisonous. Venom is injected, poison is ingested.
edit: although, it depends on if you just picked it up off the ground or bought it from a breeder because goins kings aren't native to America.
