See if it has fangs and settle it once and for all.

I think I recall that if you roll it over and check the belly scales between its butt an the tip of the tail, venomous snakes have a single row, where non-venomous have 2 rows of scales aft of the vent.

I said I wasn’t going to ask them to let me look in their mouth to tell for certain so I dang sure don’t plan on giving them a rectal exam to find out if they are venemous!

There are some snakes you should be able to run over with a mower,look at a 5" piece and know what it belonged to. That just happens to be one of those snakes.

Hard to tell. I'll weigh in on the conversation with juvenile water moccasin.

Cottonmouth. Some are solid black that are short and thick and then there these types that can get longer. I’ve seen this type get to 3-4 feet.

Another vote for cottonmouth.

100% cotton mouth. The tail is short and stumpy. If you want to play with fire because of a specific pattern good luck to you. I've seen them from jet black to having the pattern.

With you 100% stumptail /cotton mouth

From the picture that looks a lot like a little sidewinder. Maybe it's just the glare making it look like there's horns on its head but it looks like it.

Good job to the original poster, whatever it is, would have gotten the 12ga response from me as well.

OP's pic doesn't show a "stump tail"-- this is a stump tail. However, the zig-zag margins on the saddles are evident.
