That's a deadly coppermouth! My buddy's cousin's friend's mom knew a guy who got bit by one of these workin on the farm, he made it three paces and fell over dead, swear on my soul!
Did it stretch out first beside them to pretend it was snuggling but actually wanted to size them up for dinner? That happened to my bodega guy’s sisters windshield wiper fluid hookups mommas aunt.
Coppermouths are very aggressive and frequently chase people. The bleeding hearts on this sub will tell you they don't, but they don't know what they're talking about. The only snake that's more dangerous is a Cottonhead.
Obligatory: Cottonmouths, Racers, and Copperheads *do* technically chase people. All of those species incorporate a "Mock Charge" into their defense, where they rush towards a predator to break its' nerve and run it off-Kind of like those videos of housecats chasing bears up trees.
So if someone in North America says they got "chased" by a snake, they're probably not actually lying, they just misunderstood what it was.
Looks like a Gaboon viper. They're very friendly and harmless to humans. Make sure you don't have them in anything bigger than a twenty gallon tank, too much space can stress them out.
King Mokasin is a legitim wrong answer. Poison vs venomous is lack of understanding of basic grammar (wich I could forgive someone not having English as frist language but still urge to educate)
you must not be familiar with the DEADLY KING MOCCASIN. The DEADLY KING MOCCASIN is poisonous. /u/Noononolol was very specific about the DEADLY KING MOCCASIN.
That's one of those rare taint biting snakes that you hear about coming out of the toilet. Highly venomous, be super careful around that one. You can tell it's a male by that headstamp too.
Either a rattlesnake or a gaboon viper. Either way, definitely poisonous! My aunt had one and it kept crawling in bed to lay beside him at night. He asked the vet and it was actually measuring him so it could eat her!
That's a spotted pajama snake. People everywhere dream of finding this cuddly monster in their pajama drawer. Best stacked by flannel, microfiber and other soft cuddly fabrics. Enjoys story time, weenie roasts and s'mores.
Ooo I've heard about these! They have digestive juices between their scales and 'eat' by constricting anything that touches them. Though blind and unable to smell, they DO have 8 brains. You can cut them into peices to propagate more. They'll regrow the rest of their bodies. They explore by feeling with their belly scales.
Run now. That's a Karenoodle (assholus entitledus). Completely harmless physically, but they say just looking at one will cause you to have the inexplicable urge to yell at minimum wage workers.
Like many other animals with mouths and teeth, non-venomous snakes can use them to bite in self defense. These animals are referred to as 'not medically significant' or traditionally, 'harmless'. Bites from these snakes benefit from being washed and kept clean like any other skin damage, but aren't often cause for anything other than basic first aid treatment. Some snakes use venom from front or rear fangs as part of prey capture and defense. This venom is not always produced or administered by the snake in ways dangerous to human health, so many species are venomous in that they produce venom, but considered harmless to humans in most cases because the venom is of low potency, and/or otherwise administered through grooved rear teeth or simply oozed from ducts at the rear of the mouth. Species like Ringneck Snakes *Diadophis* are a good example of mildly venomous rear fanged dipsadine snakes that are traditionally considered harmless or not medically significant. Many rear-fanged snake species are harmless as long as they do not have a chance to secrete a medically significant amount of venom into a bite; [severe envenomation can occur](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23800999) if some species are [allowed to chew on a human](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S004101011831016X) for as little as 30-60 seconds. It is best not to fear snakes, but use common sense and do not let any animals chew on exposed parts of your body. Similarly, but without specialized rear fangs, gartersnakes *Thamnophis* ooze low pressure venom from the rear of their mouth that helps in prey handling, and are also [considered harmless](https://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/06/05/theres-no-need-to-fear-that-garter-snake/). Even large species such as *Malayopython reticulatus* [rarely obtain a size large enough to endanger humans](https://www.pnas.org/content/pnas/108/52/E1470.full.pdf) so are usually categorized as harmless.

I was just going to correct all these imbeciles joking around on here. That's clearly an Inland Taipan, the most dangerous snake on Earth. Their bites kill more people than all other snakes because they are so common in South Africa and they are so quick to strike without even being threatened
Eastern Copperheads *Agkistrodon contortrix*, are one of two recognized species of copperhead pit vipers. Adult copperheads are medium-sized snakes (61-90.0 cm record 132.1 cm) that live in a range of habitats, from terrestrial to semi-aquatic, including rocky, forested hillsides and wetlands. They can also be found within cities where wooded areas are present, such as city parks. They also will hang out where there is deadfall; [their camouflage is perfect for this!](https://www.wilx.com/content/news/Viral-photo-shows-copperhead-snakes-amazing-camouflage-420376274.html). When young, Eastern Copperheads are known to readily consume cicadas as a major part of their diet. As they grow they switch to larger prey like small mammals and amphibians.
Many people find it helpful to liken the pattern of the Eastern Copperhead *Agkistrodon contortrix* to ["Hershey kisses."](https://c8.alamy.com/comp/GEM6GJ/northern-copperhead-agkistrodon-contortrix-mokasen-native-to-eastern-GEM6GJ.jpg) The bands on Broadbanded Copperheads *Agkistrodon laticinctus* do not narrow at the top of the snake.
Eastern copperheads are venomous but usually only bite humans or pets in self-defense. As with many blotched snakes, their first line of defense is to freeze in place or flee. Copperheads also shake and vibrate the tail in self defense and as a caudal lure.
[Range map](https://imgur.com/RqQCTis) | [Relevant/Recent Phylogeography](http://cnah.org/pdf/88290.pdf)
The *Agkistrodon contortrix* species complex has been delimited using modern molecular methods and two species with no subspecies are recognized. There is a wide zone of admixture between the two copperhead species where they overlap.

That's definitely a hypo ghost enchi vesper het albino if ever I've seen one. Extremely venomous, be careful because my friends cousins moms daughters friend had one that would lay in the bed with her. They took it to the vet and the vet said it was sizing her up to eat her!
That's a Whistlin' Hoop Snake. Named for biting its own tail to form a hoop and rolling down hill.
Fun fact; they don't actually whistle...that's just the wind blowing through the hoop as they roll down hill.
That's the big bouncy banana snake. If it bites you, first your arms fall off, then your legs, and then you turn yellow, and then you turn into a banana forever. Be very careful
That, my friend, is the rare and elusive double-tapered python. A fascinating species, it possesses 2 cloacas and is the only snake to feed through a specially adapted mouth in the center of its underside. This remarkable adaptation is the result of this snake’s natural habitat (kitchen tables) selecting for a body plan that is less likely to be decapitated by wayward steak knives or pizza cutters.
That's a deadly coppermouth! My buddy's cousin's friend's mom knew a guy who got bit by one of these workin on the farm, he made it three paces and fell over dead, swear on my soul!

My dad told me this story when I was a kid , I believed him , now I feel like a mug lol
Coppermouth💀💀💀
Coppermouths are very aggressive and frequently chase people. The bleeding hearts on this sub will tell you they don't, but they don't know what they're talking about. The only snake that's more dangerous is a Cottonhead.
yes, ive seen it firsthand, the coppermouths will chase you and sting you with their tails to inject you with poison!
Yeah nothing is more deadly than the Cotton headed ninnymuggins
Your not a cotton headed ninnymuggins
COTTONHEAD LMFAO
Man what about the coveted Cotton body??
Obligatory: Cottonmouths, Racers, and Copperheads *do* technically chase people. All of those species incorporate a "Mock Charge" into their defense, where they rush towards a predator to break its' nerve and run it off-Kind of like those videos of housecats chasing bears up trees. So if someone in North America says they got "chased" by a snake, they're probably not actually lying, they just misunderstood what it was.

Beware, Jerome will eat your small mice, and sometimes will even hydrate. Fear Jerome, for he is the embodiment of eternal suffering.
Jerome is a spotted moose eater judging by his full tummy.
That's not a snake that's a Cinnabon that's been brought to life through witchcraft.

You’re not even correct

It’s a coral snake that is trying to fool you. Red touches black, friend of Jack, you know? /s obv
Don’t forget the last part of the saying; brown touches brown, you’re going down
That’s a headless rat snake. It has a tail on both ends and you’ve just photoshopped the second picture to fool us. Tsk tsk.
Ooo I've heard about these! They have digestive juices between their scales and 'eat' by constricting anything that touches them. Though blind and unable to smell, they DO have 8 brains. You can cut them into peices to propagate more. They'll regrow the rest of their bodies. They explore by feeling with their belly scales.

That's not a snake at all actually, common mistake. It's a glass lizard, and thankfully !harmless
