I'm pretty sure that is a poisonious one....at least the triangular head makes me think so....

no doubt about that. the scales make me think it some king of rattler, but not completely sure. my friend ran off after taking the pic and when her husband got there the snake was gone. that was right off of her back porch.Haiku's are easy

Rat Snake Non Venomous....but it sure looks like what you saw....
this is a Rat Snake. it has a different hue to the color due to it's surroundings...but it bears the same mask and markings.....Comment

I would agree with fishlady, the snake in question appears to be a juvenile and are a bit harder to identify. I have captured them before and they usually get aggressive, flaring their head and can even vibrate their tail amongst debris to simulate a rattlesnake. I could not be certain until I had a better look, but on first glance I would guess a juvenile Texas Rat Snake. They are very common and when larger can decimate a population of those fuzzy tailed yard rats that people find so adorable.In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

i agree it has alot of similarities to the baby rattler...but if you look a the diamonds on the rattler and how symetrical they are as opposed to the rat snake that are scattered i would hold that it's a rat snake.....Originally posted by daddy View PostComment

Rat snake or Gopher snake.
May also be a variant of bull snake. http://www.texassnakes.net/BullSnake.htm

There is a type of non-poisonous water snake native to central Texas that looks very much like a rattler without the rattles. This may be the one in your photo. I don't remember what they are called.Comment
