Almost mowed up this guy

[Deleted member 79987]

He appeared right in front of my mower during my going back and forth. Venemous or not? I don’t recall seeing one like this. Probably 3-4’ long. I let him pass by.

Harmlessl. One of the good guys.

Eastern black snake.. Glad you let him live.

 

[TheGman]

Good call not mowing him up well done

Nonvenomous.
Look at the head, if doesn't narrow noticeably to the neck (triangular head shape), not dangerous. At least in this country. Unless it's a Coral Snake, which is red/yellow/black. But not red/black/yellow.
