That a rattler?

 

[raggie33]

dont know and he is very aggrsive so it was hard to get a picture .i wont harm him no matter what but ill take him a lot further in woods if he has venom

Be careful with that thing. I can't see the head well enough to comment about it. Even non-poisonous can be dangerous, a bite would send you to the ER until species was confirmed. And a deep puncture (bite) can cause non-trivial infection regardless.

Ya absolutely. It could also be a corn snake

 

[raggie33]

nah he wouldnt eat any corn or peas. ok im kidding lol he is still in back yard ill let him go tonight

Perhaps an identification could be made by someone in that group.

It's a Dekay's Brown snake, non-venomous and feeds on worms, slugs/snails.

I like snakes, they are like noodles with eyes. Not so much the venomous ones tho..

A smaller version of that snake got into our house once and ate one of the three meadow voles we had raise from pinkies (a hawk ate their mom). That snake is the only thing on earth I have ever felt actual hate for. It didn't last long, as I understand the reality that animals eat other animals to survive. But for a few minutes I had glowing red hot hatred for that snake.

BTW, don't move to South Carolina. Snakes are just a part of our ecosystem. Most folks understand they are good for the neighborhood and leave them alone.
