So as some of you may remember I am not a fan of ANY snake. Care to enlighten me what I visitor WAS.

Need a closer photo. Can't make out the markings on the critter. It might be a rattle head coral mouth.

Yea Smoky would like to make it closer and that I can do on the phone and the computer but not on here. The markings were little diamond shapes that is my concern

I thought they had gone in for the winter.
So did I Dennis, the wife saw him last night coming out of the umbrella holder. I covered the hole and just now remembered to take a look at him. There was a dead frog in the bottom so he was just out for a winters snack I guess.

When I was in high school, I used to catch rattlers, cotton mouths and coral snakes and sell them to a tourist trap for their snake pit. My biggest rattle snake was a 6'4" diamond back. A real southern gentleman. He had a cottontail in his belly.

Correct, no rattler was in the tail. He did his curl up and struck at me but that would be any snake I assume.

Long and slim. Possibility of a coachwhip snake. Not any of the garter snakes for sure.. would like to see a better picture. Did it look anything like this pic? Harmless mouse and rat eating snake.

At least the critter is not a pit viper. I agree with fishrmans, pretty durn skinny for a garter.

Next time get the camera a little closer to the snake so we can see it better.

It looks like a King Snake. The best kind to have around. They not only eat mice and other vermin,but they enjoy chowing down on Rattlesnakes and Copperheads too.

It didn't look like either of these two. On the pic you can see the little diamond shapes.
And to get closer for a better pic that wasn't going to happen. Zoom on the phone and the computer shows it much better just no way to zoom on here.
