what kind of snake?
I just found this snake while mowing the lawn today and my wife is flipping out and wants to know what kind it is. It is only a baby. I live in New York about 1.75 hours North of the city if that will help anyone identify. I would guess a copperhead if I had to but I am not an expert. TIA

Not while being a Milk snake. It can only be one kind of snake at a time.

Re: what kind of snake?
Jeff,
That would be a good guess. The website I got the photo from listed the Milk snake as a type of king snake. Apparently there are only a couple bazillion kinds of king snakes. I did not know that. I dislike them all. "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing is worth a war, is worse.

Looks like the dreaded rattle-headed copper mocassin.
