Snake type?

[cherrynberry]

We saw another snake today...different than the eat snake we saw awhile ago...it seems all the snakes are starting to emerge. What type is it?

What country or state do you live in?

CA...it’s not venomous though right? My dad got bit...so I kind of want to know, thanks

Looks like a gopher snake or hog nose. Most likely a hog nose.

Nonvenomous.

Nonvenomous.

So technically it could be a pet?

 

[ShannonsChimkens]

Just a wild nonvenomous snake. I wouldn’t keep it, much happier roaming around being a wild snake.

Yeah...we aren’t going too, but I was just wondering. Could it attack quail?

Non venomous and harmless. They could eat quail eggs and chicks. A larger adult one could eat a quail. This one looks young enough that he shouldn't cause you any problems. Just release him in a wooded area away from your home. No need to hurt him.

Looks like a Gopher or Bullsnake baby.

It’s hard to tell how big that one is, but a larger one could take young quail.
