My dad caught this in our garage the other day. I have lived in FL my entire life, and have never seen such a snake.
At first it looks like a Diamond Back.... but if you look closely the "diamonds" look more like an "H" It is most likely just a rat snake, but I thought I would probe the ARFCOM Think Tank.   Edited: ok I hope this works now

I can't find my glasses right now. Is that a red x or a skull & cross bones? If it's a skull & crossbones I'd definitely say to stay away from it.

You got yourself the most dreaded sneaky snake in those parts...Quicker to kill you than the 3-stepper’s we saw back in Nam...
Here in Texas they are known as the dreaded Red X'er... BTW the Red X’er is a distant relative of the Alabama Black Snake... |

Attach it to a drill and run it down the toilet. If it clear up the clog it was a snake.

Maybe this is a juvenile yellow rat snake. As juveniles the pattern looks much like a corn snake. The blotches are replaced by stripes as the snake matures.
Handle with care! I dislike snakes, spiders, and other creepy crawly things......YMMV What do I know, certainly nothing about snakes.....[

A Corn snake or a Bull snake. Kind of hard to tell with the pic colors although Corn snakes are usually a little more orange.

That's one I would not screw with. It kind of looks like a little Copperhead (actually a med sized Copperhead).

It is absolutely NOT a copperhead. Look at the colors. Look at the head shape. Look at the pupil shape. I'm pretty sure that it's a corn snake. Totally harmless and good to have around. Duh, nevermind. I read the quotes wrong. I thought this was referring to the original snake. The other is hard to tell with the lighting. |

I was going to download the pic and lighten it up, but it is a jpg_s, and I couldn't download it. But I have seen and killed enough of them to know what it is. I still think the first one is a rat snake. If you look at the picture I posted, the markins are identical. The color is darker on the pic I posted, but they vary depending on how long it has been since they have shed. http://www.snakesandfrogs.com/scra/snakes/images/yratjuv.jpg |
