This snake got in strike mode under a house today while me and @Tinman were working. He had no where to go being the house crawl area was 20” high. Identify this.
 
Pine snake?
 
I’d say rat snake. I do not like to kill non-poisonous snakes (or even poisonous ones if they are not in a living area) BUT in a crawl space that is 20” high that sucker might as well be a Black Mamba ... I ain’t gonna check the shape of the eye’s pupil or such ... dead snake.
 
I don't kill non poisonus but I used to do home restoration. Was pulling up a vapor barrier , crouched, maybe 3ft on that end of the house, at a column, peelee back the plastic and there's a 4' black snake under my crotch. Never crawled so fast in my life. Then had to go back and find it. Killed it too, it was pissed when I tried to get it out with a hoe.

Actually...there aren't many. But they do exist. :p

While the term "poisonous snake" is often incorrectly used for a wide variety of venomous snakes, some species of Rhabdophis are in fact poisonous. Keelback snakes have glands that secrete poison they ingest from eating poisonous toads. While both venom and poison are toxins, a venom requires direct delivery, for instance subcutaneously through a snake bite, but can be ingested without harm. A poison can also be absorbed indirectly, e.g., by touch or through the digestive system.

Show me one Mr. Wiki

That wasn't even the one I was thinking about. I thought there was some random snake up in the Pacific Northwest, and another in Japan.

I was already keyed up to answer the poisonous vs venomous, and saw two people had already handled it. Poisonous frogs, venomous snakes.

Perhaps a Gray Rat Snake?
I think this is our snake. Quite the eventful day. Should have seen the Mexican illegals crew cutting down the giant trees in the yard. Ever seen a man pull a 70 foot tree down on top of his skid steer. Thank goodness he put up the logger attachment as it fell. It was a day of excitement in the world of heating and air installation.
 
Yep, Dekays Brown Snake
 
(Smug annoying H.S. teacher hat on)

If snake related, use these terms:
Venom.
Venomous.
Envenomated.

Not these ones:
Poison
poisonous
poisoned

But for the most part here on CFF, this word seem to be most important:

Harmless. Lolz.
