...snake. Fella I encountered near Hood River today. They shake their tails like Rattlers.

with that head, I'm inclined to agree, but would like to see more and at different angles.

I've had my nose in a Snake Identification book all morning! This little snake was on my driveway today, first I thought it was a pigmy rattler but it seems its a Florida Corn snake and harmless. If the snake's eye (pupil) has a vertical slit then its usually venomous. :shock:

That is definately a venomous snake mate. He may have lost his rattle but he aint no kissing cousin.

Thanks for the clarification. Initially, I thought it was a rattler-- so no I didn't take chances-- well maybe a little chance :)
The head did look like a viper's head-- but I guess I screwed up when I looked him up online.

Looks like the Pigmy Rattlers we have in S.Fl. I have had 3 in my screened patio over a 3 yr. period. They are nasty when cornered !

Corn snake is also called a 'rat' snake, and is orange and white.

It's definitely a Southern Pacific Rattler. The markings are spot on

and who wants to look a snake in the eye except a herpetologist?
