    POSITIVELY a rattle-headed copper-moccasin! No, really, I'm pretty sure
    thats what we call a rat-snake around here, nothing to worry about if that
    is it. Unless you do what my Dad did, dip a pan of horse feed up out of a
    barrel, and one of them is coiled up in it - in a DARK barn with a dim flashlight!
    The snake was well behaved, but I think it got away with pops.

    The barn would not be big enough for me and the snake he could have it. I have got to not killing every snake I see if they will leave me along and stay outside. lol

    DO you remember if the tail was pointed or stubbed? Usually a pointed tail means non poisonous and a blunt stubby tail is usually poisonous unless therefore it got chopped off lol. Not always true, but alot of times.

    A couple years ago I come home from work and it was during the early wood duck season so I thought I'd run over to the lake and hunt the last hour before shooting time. I went out to my shed to grab a piece of camo burlap to cover stuff in the boat up with. It was folded up on the top shelf. I'm pretty short so I had to reach pretty high. I grabbed it and pulled it off and yanked a chicken snake about that size down right in my face. He was just suspended there eye to eye. And much like J White's, Pop it scared the crap out of me. I fell backwards over my lawnmower. And grabbed a hoe. Before I could get him he got up in the rafters and got away. I'm terribly afraid of snakes anyhow. Next day my roomate caught him in a pillow case while I was at work. I so much wanted to kill him but he was going to his farm and I told him to just turn him loose.

    Do a search for Rat Snake and I think you will find some pictures that look like this. A friend of mine caught a snake just like yours the other day and the pictures I found here on the web looked just like it. It's harmless......treepotato

    Those snakes are better than cats at cleaning barns and sheds of rats.

    I walked out back on the patio one morning and there was a very large black snake laying on the top railing sunning itself. I caught it and took it back to the woods and let it go. I could just imagine if it had been my wife walking out there and seeing that.
