Looks like a southern brown snake to me.

They are harmless and just eat slugs and worms.

Looks like a pigmy rattlesnake to me but what do I know.

thanks guys.........i guess ;-)
found 3 of these things near my house during the past week or so & wife is freaked out by them. tried to explain to her that some snakes are suppoesedly "good" (even though i've never really studied them enough to know which ones), but she wants em dead. so guess what they are now...................wait for it...................that's right, they dead. oh well, maybe next time I can save the good ones.

Midland brown snake....eats grubs, soft shell insects, things of that nature. Caught two last week , put them in a terrarium to show the neighborhood kids, and they locked up and mated for over an hour. Quite an educational moment.

All I know is it was close enough for a pic, therefore it was close enough for a shovel to the head. Prob harmless, but the only way to know for sure is to let it bite you. Your choice!
Damn, i thought I had that one

Is that buddy of yours tryin to blow that call or make love to it?

$#!+ this sounds like the MDWFP forum now.... I'll toss my hat in the "good snake is a dead snake ring," but I've got a feeling some people may disagree.........
