PLEASE HELP: Is this a typical garden snake? It was found in our kitchen this morning.
The snake was found in our kitchen this morning and wanted to know if this
is poisonous or just a typical garden snake. The stuff oh its head are cobwebs. I think it might be a copperhead, not sure though. Thanks in advance. James |

"James" wrote in message ... Oops - here's the picture. Thanks again. I just finished looking through http://fwie.fw.vt.edu/VHS/snakes_of_virginia.htm and did not find the snake in question there. So my question is now this. Is the picture of the enclosed snake indigenous to Virginia or the US east coast? Or has this snake been brought into the area? I don't want to turn it loose in the back yard until I know better. Otherwise, I might need to take it to the reptile center where I live. Again, thanks for any help you can offer. James |

James Google up copperhead images. We have them in northern Delaware but highly localized. I believe they are prominent in parts of North Carolina - at least in Kinston. Coworkers there had problems with them getting in garages and with them biting their pets. Hope you killed it and it didn't bite you. Frank |

It's a Fox Snake: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=fox+snake&gbv=2 Thanks a million. I can let it go now. A closer look reveals that it's a western fox snake here in Virginia. Must of been brought in as pets over the years and some were either turned loose and other got away. See picture of western fox snake at: http://herpcenter.ipfw.edu/index.htm...ke/index.htm&2 Thanks to everyone for your speedy help! |
