What kind of snake is it?

[Sir Birdaholic]

Open it's mouth. If it is black inside, it's a Black Mamba & you shouldn't have opened it's mouth! Nice Knowing ya!

It looks like a juvenile common water snake to me. Juveniles can be tricky, but I am going by what it looks like on its belly and the banding. Did you find near water? a stream or creek? Did it offer to bite when first caught?

I found him in a puddle next to our creek(Which is right next to our hen house, bad planing)

He was one of the gentler snakes that I have found on our property, he did not try to do anything.

Whatever it is, it's got a pretty round head to be a corn snake or such. . .

It's a corn snake. Had one when I was a kid.
