I'm almost positive its a copperheaded-cottonmouthed-diamondback..............cobra. With that 50/50 dangerous chance, i'd have examined it from a far! Did you catch it or was it a surprise in that barrel?
Beautiful snake, makes me think maybe it was a pet at one point. JungleJim just might have a better answer than mine.

Thx. Figured it out. It's just a water snake. It was huddled up underneath on of my grandmas plant pots
Buddy that sure looks like a clear water copper head . Best you don't take any chances . The only thing that makes me wonder is the venom sacs aren't well pronounced . In any case the only good snake is the one 100 yards or better away . Gives me time to do the other hundred yards in the opposing direction .

Water snake. Generally rounded nose = nonpoisonous. V shaped = get da gun!

Yes a water snake. A copperhead will have light copper markings beside dark copper markings plus the V shape head.

Thx TF. But I did my homework bf handling. Took a bit of work bc he was so small.
Thx y'all.
It's funny my grandma, who won't let me pluck a few squirrels or trash scattering coons, wanted it dead on the spot. That's just not me. Rather be smart dumba**.

Eastern watersnake, head is oval, they are beautiful snakes, you can tell if a snake is venomous by the head except for a few different species but the most accurate way is the pupil, venomous snakes have a vertical pupil like a cat, non poisonous have round pupil.
