I'm quite sure this is a cottonmouth. Can someone tell me yes or no
My vote would be some water snake. Gotta love the commentator saying "I don't like snakes. I don't care if they're poisonous or not poisonous." Lol
No

Just messing with you. I'm pretty sure that's a northern water snake but location would help.

Definitely Nerodia sipedon. Might be the Carolina subspecies there.

And here we go. Got a little baby one maybe 8-9" long.
If copperheads ever start getting rare, they are gonna turn your property into a sanctuary...

Bought a house on a small bit of acreage to get away from the burbs just for things like this. We caught this our first full day at the house. I suspect it will be the first of many!

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Did the snake's head explode simply by getting stared down by you?

Lol! Of course!!!
Bud light? Something seems off here...
Massasauga and western diamondback? I'm usually good at these... First could also be a prairie, I'm not sure how to differentiate.CreekBottom said:

You are correct sir!!! Two of about 20 I have encountered since we moved to our current place about 6 years ago. The Massasauga was about 2 weeks ago.

I like Bud Light. I have been on a Modelo Ranch Water kick lately, but I still enjoy a cold Bud Light.

Ignore the commentary, any comments on what the smaller snake thought to accomplish?
~25 minutes. Most of it skippable. Badace or f12 comments solicited.

not one of those two, but first thing that comes to my mind is: self preservation.Reginald Cousins said:

Maybe so. Sure seemed offensive to me. But offense is the best defense as well. Someone oughta tell Jimbo.
Both snakes are speckled kingsnakes and my guess is one tried to eat the other and it became defensive. They are notorious snake eaters, even their own kind.
Yellow belied racer my dog found yesterday. She's good at finding snakes and then has a particular bark once she does.
It's hard to run them down on crutches. And they're bitey little buggers, hence the gloves.
Also stirred up a 4' rat snake while mowing the front yard. It went up on the front porch so I warmed the wife to avoid it, but a bit later I saw it go along the front of the house and into the garage behind a bunch of shelves before I could get to it. Brings of the age old moral dilemma: warn the wife and risk being tasked to find and remove it, or say nothing and risk it later being found in front of the washing machine or the deep freeze or something, secret amusement ensuing, and then still having to deal with it? Probably, if you say nothing, it finds its own way out overnight, so so went with that.

MouthBQ,
With all due respect...
Honestly surprised your wife still lives on the same property as you.

What did you do to the knee man?
I'm guessing torn ACL chasing snakes.
Torn ACL and meniscus and fractured tibia at Purgatory almost to the bottom of Blackburn's Bash. My first black diamond on the first afternoon of the trip.
I put on a brace, took some ibuprofen and a couple of IPA and skied 3 more days on it.
