snake ID?

[7mm08]

Not sure what the ID of this snake is. Head looks poisonous, but I've never seen a pattern that tight on a north ga poisonous snake before. My first reaction was copperhead. My brain says no on the pattern though.

wrong pattern for a copper head, looks to be some sort of water snake... mocasin maybe but doubt it if it came from north ga.

Not sure.....I have seen bull snakes flatten their head to that venomous shape.

It's a baby garter snake. The head is slightly bigger than the body on the young ones, so it sometimes "looks like" a pit viper shaped head.

How big was the snake? It's hard to tell from the pic. My daughter found one in the backyard last night just like that and I have removed (not killed) several just like it over the last couple of years. They were all about 10" - 12" long.

waiting on my daughter to respond with how big the snake is. she nearly stepped on it going into the library at North Georgia University.
