What kind of snake is this?

My wife sent me this picture a few minutes ago. Fortunately my 11 yo had a sword. Unfortunate if it's not a copperhead. Looks too green to me.

Rat snakes are a good snake you will benefit from having around

[chadt1234]

We have chickens. Had one eat a ton of eggs a couple years ago. I would have liked to relocate the guy. Unfortunately, my wife saw it first and recruited my son and the previously mentioned sword.

Dang, I wish I had one in my garage a couple months ago. Fortunately, the traps finally got the rats, but I would rather have something like a rat snake around to do my dirty work.
