What kind is that? It looks like it isn't in a very good mood.

I was gonna say by the shape of the head he's likely venomous.

I actually had a dream about being attacked by a copperhead last night. Guess I shouldn't have watched snakes on a plane

My parents doxen got bit on the neck by a rattler when I was a kid. Da homie pulled through. I once saw a horse drag that dog across a field by the horse's tail. That dog was tough as shite.

You might be surprised to hear that attempting to kill venomous snakes actually increases your risk of snakebite. This masterful post written by David Steen at Living Alongside Wildlife is a good argument for why this is the case. Specifically, the reason is that about 2/3rds of snakebites in the USA are a direct result of intentional exposure to the snake and could be avoided if the people involved had made different decisions. These bites resulted from people who were trying to kill snakes or molest them, or who chose to interact with them for some other reason (ranging from snake handling churches to collection for rattlesnake roundups). Although snakebite is an occupational hazard for some, such as zookeepers and herpetologists, the vast majority of Americans are at extremely low risk of snakebite.

Just seen about a 6' chicken snake or *black racer*
while cutting grass around my barn, freak me and him out at first we stare at each other then both went our own ways.

May we never forget the great cancer curing rat snake battle of March Aught '14.

Used to kill those things by the dozen when I was little in Missouri. In spring me and my friend would sharpen the end of a big stick and go hunting for them. Typically found them on the sunny side of rocky hills. I never got bit, friend got bit on two occasions. Made him sick but nothing too bad.

Snakes generally are not aggressive to people and help control other species. Don't kill them unless they are threatening you.

if no weapons are allowed, a 20 pound rock would suffice.

Thats a hognose snake, not a copperhead.

I've been a surveyor for over 20 yrs I can't count the number of cotton mouths and copperheads my trusty machete has relieved of their heads. There was one swamp/beaver pond area along side of some prison land in Sugar Land where we killed 30 or 40 a day when in there.

The snake in the OP is a harmless water snake. Nerodia sipedon.
Anyone that said copperhead or hognose is an idiot. This is a copperhead I photographed in north georgia.
This is the same harmless species as in the OP:
Learn the difference. I always tell people a copperhead looks like it has Hershey's kisses on its side.
Killing snakes is for wimps and sister f'ing hicktards. I'll give people a pass for killing a venomous snake on their property if they don't have the knowledge and skills to move it a short distance away. People who kill snakes far from houses in the woods or on roads are pansies, not true outdoorsmen, have small penises, etc.
Here are some snakes I've found and photographed:
Timber rattler
Mating eastern diamondbacks
Prairie rattlesnake
Desert massasauga rattlesnake
Pigmy rattlesnake
Cottonmouth
Massive eastern diamondback
I'm heading to a good timber rattler spot near Athens in about an hour. I will post pics or a video tonight if I see one.

Omg.. We walk our dogs there and talked about going today...not now though!

The only time I will kill a snake is when it is close to my house and it is venomous. Other than that, I just move them out far into our woods. I don't even mess with chicken/rat snakes.
