It's a Dekays snake. Harmless relative of the garter snake. They eat slugs and worms.Copperhead ? Can’t tell. They are all terrifying whatever it is.

Looks like one of these...
It does look very scary, good shoot op.
just a run of the mill brown snake. They do have copper heads in Georgia. 99% percent of all poisonous snakes in GA. have a very pronounced heart shaped head. Those big cheeks that make up that heart head are the poison glands. I use to catch baby copper heads all the time up Atlanta National Golf Club up next to Alpharetta. They are a very distinct snakes in their infant state. they have a very bright chartreuses colored tail.
Right? I HATE threads like this. There's not many venomous snakes in GA. Copperhead, a few types of rattlesnakes...those are the ones you'll likely run across, if ever, and they're easy to pick out. The coral snake is easy to distinguish also, but you'll almost never see one. That leaves the cottonmouth, which I agree is a little hard to distinguish from some other snakes but unless your garden is near the water, you're not going to see one of those either.
GRRR. /rant
If you can tell the difference between a crow and a robin, you can identify a venomous snake. All it takes it making a small effort to become familiar with the animals that live in your area.

I'm just waiting for someone to post a pic of an Indigo snake they killed.
THAT will get someone's attention...

People way over react when they see snakes. To me they are fascinating. If they don't have that heart shaped head and the head is slender then leave it alone. You can tell the difference right away. It's unmistakable. Then just leave alone. The eat mice and other undesirable rodents around you property. This is usually the time of year you see the little ones. They have hatched recently and are out scouting the area. Believe me they are just as scared of you as you are them.
