Snake question...what is it.

And no i didnt kill him

Moved him maybe 20 ft from where we were working this morning.
He was maybe 9 or 10" long. Dont think he was a rattle snake

Is little chilly this morning so he is moving really slow

gopher snake

as in 'if you turn your back it will go-fer your leg'??

Little guy

He wasnt no bigger than a pencil

nope rope

Baby Bull snake, did it hiss and strike at you? IF so it is a one, if not maybe it is a Gopher snake.
They look a lot alike
I've caught both, one baby bull snake that was really piss at being caught, it was nasty and mean and hissed a lot and would strike a lot.
All the Gopher snake where a lot older bigger, 5Ft.+, some would strike and bite me but not more than once or twice and then they would calm down be nice after handling them for a few minutes
I've been told both of those breed snakes will kill and eat other snakes, especially Rattlesnakes
I've never seen that though

Never even tried to strike or hiss in any way , I picked it up (( with leather gloves on ) and relocated it maybe 20-30 ft away from where we were working.

It was quite chilly so he was REALLY lethargic , moved really slow .

What Bill? Was it in the mid-60's?? Already forgetting what "chilly" was and really is
