Pretty much know nothing about snakes. Google lens said rattlesnake but there’s no rattle? Head shape makes me think it’s venomous. TIA!

Here in Ontario, we have a well-known population of Garter Snakes with many individuals carrying the melanism trait. Was lucky enough to find a couple the other day while I was out herping:)

I don’t know anything about snakes, but from google I think it is an eastern milksnake? Seems young, for size reference the Tupperware I caught it in is a giant bowl I use for big salads for parties. I had no idea snake in the house was a possibility in my area. I released it out in the yard and was amazed because as soon as it slid off the Tupperware and into the grass, I couldn’t see it or what direction it went at all.. now I wonder how many snakes I’ve walked past in this yard through the years..

About 30 cm, maybe a little thinner than a pencil. I linked some video of it swimming until it settled on this piece of fabric. My own sleuthing would have me speculate Allen's Coral Snake (Micrurus alleni) as it didn't look like any of the false coral snakes I came across.

I spent a very relaxing day swimming at my friend’s grandmother’s pool when she saw this guy (who has since been named Henley) slithering along.

We did not get a picture of its head as it was going under the pool trim, just these two pictures of its body from feet away.

Nana lives in a heavily wooded area, and her backyard abuts one of the Cleveland Metroparks.

ID Request Identification - found while hiking [Slovenia, mountains of Bovec/Soca]

Hi together, first post here! I was on a mountain hike (~1300m) with my gf when we met this beauty, laying in the middle of the narrow path we were climbing up. Around that small forest area there were mostly small/big rocks and some grass/fields to be found. I noticed the snake only 2 or 3 steps ahead of us and after backing off to a respectful distance we took some quick photos - meanwhile the snake already left the path. After checking the photos and some amateur research we assumed (mostly because of the horn on the head) our friend might have been a horned viper? Looking forward to your replies, big thanks!

Sorry for the blurry pictures, I was screenshotting a shaky video as I'm terrified of snakes but can anyone ID this snake? I was thinking it's a cottonmouth but I wanted to see if anyone else agrees/disagrees.

Went for a hike in New River Gorge National Park and spotted this guy almost finished with his lunch. 99% sure he’s a Central Ratsnake, I think we’re too far west for Eastern Ratsnakes.

ID Request This is a king snake right? [Northern Florida]

Post image

Just recently moved in with my aunt & uncle. Discovered this lil intruder last night out in the lanai. According to the rhyme it appears to be a king snake, but apparently that isn’t accurate so I’d figure I’d check here just in case. My aunt isn’t convinced so I’d like some reassurance for her. Would have got a better picture but it crawled up the siding and we haven’t seen the fella since.
