That looks a lot like the snake I had the scuffle with. What kind is it?


That is a copperhead, Bill.

Venomous but most healthy adults will recover without much effort. The very young, the very old, and the immune system compromised suffer most from copperhead bites.

Look again bass lover that is a lesser seen cottonmouth that is brown and not blackish .
