What kind of snake?

[BizCT]

First snake I've come across in my pool. What kind? I assume a baby garter and not a copperhead....

Dead snake. Be nice to them, because they eat bugs and make the girls jump outta their bikinis into your arms.

It's a garter snake.  Or it WAS in it's former life... It's probably a liberal Democrat now.

I believe so.....hope you have some mouse traps...it's going into fall...those snakes are your first defense against those wonderful little rodents entering your home looking for their winter home..

Poor cute little bug eater

at my old house we had a major mouse and chipmunk problem.  Farmers nasty barn 50 yards away was rat infested.  One morning I stepped out the door to go to work and pretty much stepped on a black rat snake.  It was decent sized but never measured it.  it was there most mornings sunning itself.  No more rodent problems after that until someone dropped off a cat that was a killer and killed the 7' long snake.  good thing she could kill the rodents too.  We moved and kept the cat.

No mouse issues. This was the first snake I've ever seen on the property

You HAD no mice issues because you have snakes

[DirtTime]

It looks like it won't be bothering you again.

Lol doubt it. Probably the skunk, opposum, woodchuck etc preventing mice from coming around. I don't know of anyone with mice problems in the area.

Always makes me chuckle when I see guy's freak out over a little garter snake.

Nobody said I freaked out. I'm curious if it's a garter or copperhead. How can you tell when it's so small?

Haha! Shoulda seen 'em he was this long! . But I got em'!

[BizCT]

I've seen copperheads before but older ones that were obvious.

This baby copperhead pic looks similar to the one I just killed.

Hmmm sorry for joking biz, they do look similar..

 

[DirtTime]

OK, all joking aside. Do they have copperheads on LI or in NYC?

Idk about NYC or Long Island. But I live 35-40 miles north of NYC in Westchester and yes they have copperheads here. I grew up in Putnam county and used to see (and kill) copperheads in the woods from time to time.
