Snake ID

Any body know what this snake is ?

Kind of orange and green.

A bad one (still alive)!

...looks to be a king.

It is a Western Ground snake. A king has white bands also.

Let him go and catch mice for you.

Noted, thanks.

The white bands will be inside two black bands and the reds also between two black bands. Red, black, white, black, red, black, white and on and on.

Thanks for the I D. I’ve never seen those colors before. It’s still alive.

Feral cats kill mice too

Easy to remember regarding Snakes:
When the two colors touch...
Red & Black : Venom Lack
Red & Yellow: Kill a Fellow.

Not always true as there's aberrant color morphs and melanistic examples of both out there. Better option is to know the standard patterns plus physical body types of all.

We have snakes that are that color here in Arkansas and they are mud snakes, non poisonous and have little bitty eyes...d2

I always stick with the triangle/arrowhead shaped head as an indicator of pit vipers... Doesn't apply to Corals, so if I'm unsure I stay clear.

You’d about have to stick a finger in front of a coral snake to get bit. They have fixed fangs and basically have to chew on you.

That looks to be a young Longnosed snake - harmless

Most plain bellied, diamond back, northern water snakes have triangle heads also. Vertical slit pupils is the only clear way on “most” venomous. Coral snakes don’t have that, only pit vipers. I keep venomous here and they’re pretty neat animals. Here’s a pic of my girl “Darlene” named after the character from Ozark.
