Can someone please identify this snake?
Found today in the Florida panhandle. Under my front deck to be specific. I'm a little nervous about the answer I'm going to receive, but this one is a different color than the others, so maybe I'll get lucky. http://i418.photobucket.com/albums/pp270/kilroy76/...

Nah, don't kill it. I don't think it's poisonous.
It looks like a baby grey rat snake. They're also called oak snakes.
They're native to the Florida panhandle and definitely not venomous. You're fine. :o) It's probably more scared of you than you are of it. lol
Below is a website that shows a picture of an older one.

That would be a gray rat snake. They are nonvenomous so there's no need to worry. Just don't let young children get to near because they will bite (you probably already know that though). Hope this helps!

well to me i would be cautious it could be a harmless corn but it could be a copper head you can use a stick about 5 feet long teas the snake and see if it got fangs when it strikes the stick remember be careful stay at least 5FEET from it or just let it go its merry way i would (YOU WOULD NOT LIKE A GIANT TO TEASE YOU)

i can't see enough of it to tell, but if it was with others, it is probably the same time, with a color phase variant. this happens a lot with snakes.
