Snake Experts: What Is This?

[selmaborntidefan]

So the other day I’m in Twin Falls, Idaho - right next to the Evel Knievel ramp - and nearly stepped on this little guy (the picture is a focus closeup, he wasn’t overly big).

Anybody know what and how you can tell? I’m guessing copperhead but any input is appreciated.

At first glance looks like a type of king snake.

Copperheads are not found in Idaho. Looks like a Gopher snake to me.

How would a copperhead know where the state line is????

Any snake without proper ID is a cooperheaded rattle moccasin. They can be found in every state except Alaska

Not a copperhead nor any other viper.

My first thought was a garter snake. Whatever it is, it`s not a pit viper and is non-venomess . Head shape.

Based on your location and description of its length, I’d go with long nose snake. They live out there and you probably interrupted his breakfast tramping around.

I know a snake who works for government. He’s a civil serpent.

This may be the wrong board Selma. Kirby is a snake in the grass so you might check a uga board for clarification.

Looks like BS to me...(bull snake, that is).

No, not a copperhead.

Bill, he may not know where the state lines are, but I guarantee you he knows his zip code.

That would be my guess as well. Sometimes referred to as a bull snake.

I swear I was thinking of this guy when I said this.
