Snake ID needed

Please tell me this wasn’t a baby copperhead. It doesn’t appear to be venomous based on the head, but I’m no expert. I have a king snake that resides in my yard, so I’m hopeful he’s on duty and keeping the bad stuff.

Nope. Looks like a Texas Brown Snake (non-venomous).

Yep closely related to Gardiner Snake

Saweet!!! He was released unharmed. I think they like the yard because there are a ton of frogs around

Baby copperhead has a yellow neon colored tipped tail. Same with a cottonmouth. Also, juvenile copperheads look like a copperhead, cuz same markings.

This was a pretty orange color

That’s a Dekay’s brown snake. Harmless slug eater.

Looks like a checkered garter snake to me
