What type of snake is this? [Northern Virginia]

Caught a visitor on the doorbell camera. I don’t have much knowledge about the snakes… please help identify this guy. My guess is rat snake, but I could be wrong. Should I leave it alone or call wildlife rescue? My cat keeps checking the door every 15 minutes.

[austin, tx] what’s this little guy??

We moved to Texas from central Illinois so not familiar with snakes at all. Terrible picture as I was walking the pup and didn’t want him to notice the snake.

Found four of these guys in the parking lot. One got killed, thankfully rest three were rescued[Bangalore-India].

Though I have a strong feeling it’s a Russel’s Viper, not 100% sure. Do I need to be scared as we found only the babies and also my bike is parked there all the time.

[Central Iowa] Found these two fighting in backyard.

The brown had the black one by the neck. A neighbor kid startled them and the brown one released the the other. The black one then disappeared into some tall grass at the back of the yard. The brown one stayed relatively close to the house. That’s all. Just interested in what species they could be and should I be worried about my dog being in the backyard?

Spotted on the outskirts of [Skopje, Macedonia] yesterday

Hi everyone,

I saw this snake yesterday on the outskirts of Macedonia. Does anybody know what it is? It was pretty big - I'd guess at least 4 feet long.

Sorry for the bad photo. I heard it rustling in the bushes and it only came out for 5-10 seconds.

Cutie Rat Snake [Mechanicsville, VA]

This cute rat snake has been showing up around our house the past few days and it has made me so happy (Rat Snakes are probably my favorite or at least in my top 3 favorite snakes). I hope he sticks around. I’ve gotten some cool pics of his booper-snooper.

[Triad NC] Found under a stepping stone

I’m 99% sure it’s not a Copperhead. A majority of people I asked think it is, but the head shape doesn’t give venomous. Released into the woods across the street.
