If I were in Australia and had the potential for a Tiger Snake in mine, I wouldn't be going near it either.

My wife refuses to go near the tree this morning.
It took me over 5 years to convince mine that snakes are ok. She's even pretty good at identifying them now.
Spiders, on the other hand, will take some more work.

But the tree wasn't even real, so really the snake just called into/onto it while already in the house

This is from the Cleveland, Ohio area: http://fox8.com/2016/12/22/fishermen-find-16-foot-snake-in-frozen-chagrin-river/

Dead boa constrictor found frozen in a river up there. Reportedly 16-feet long.

Three things:

1. You're handling it like you know what you're doing
2. You don't have to hold rat snakes like that (most of the time they're docile after they settle down)
3. Why are you asking for ID on a snake you're handling? What if that were a water moccasin?

I'm assuming you know it was non-venomous and the 3rd point is really more rhetorical, but I had to ask.

My cousin is the one holding it, and we both knew it wasn't poisonous. Wrong shaped head to be venomous. But the womenfolk were convinced it was a Copperhead. All snakes are Copperheads y'know. So I said I'd post it on the TexAgs snake thread because TexAgs knows stuff. Thanks for vindicating us.

Your cousin has some meat claws on him.

Most undoubtedly a texas rat snake... see half of the other posts on this thread for confirmation.

The good news on rat snakes?

As a species they apparently are doing well.

The bad news?

Momma's call them Copperhead's.

Oh Boy.

Head shape is a poor indicator of venomous/non venomous

Just curious. If they come out after an 80's day in December, willtheu go back into hybernation with a January long freeze?

If not, will they freeze to death?

Depending on where you are they don't really hibernate. If temps get into the 50s-60s and even in the 40s if it's sunny then they'll come out and bask and maybe try to get an easy meal.
