I haven't got the slighest clue, what these snakes are. But when I moved here to Georgia from Illinois 2004, these I found in my backyard...

Can't tell on the first one - might be a rat snake? The second one looks like a King snake.

Melissa the first one is a Eastern Coachwhip and the second is an Eastern Kingsnake.

Thanks. They are both cool to have around. I wish I had such luck!

I live in Sahuarita, AZ which is about 30 miles SW of Tucson. In the desert!!

Rattlers...more rattlers....oh yea...and a few more rattlers! Please don't ask me the type as I have no idea...don't get that close.

I have also seen some king snakes around. And though these are not snakes I have seen....

Trantulas
centipedes
Gila Monsters
scorpions
and of course coyotes and the other day we had a bobcat in the back yard. Good times.....

Garter snakes (most likely it was a Common Garter.. I think??)
Rattlesnakes (the holy Western Diamondback)
Black Headed snake (my friend found a tiny little baby one at school and he gave it to me LOL.. he said, "Here Tiffany, I got you a new snake.")

Personally, I've only seen copperheads down at the lake I live by, and little garden snakes. I'm sure there's plenty of other ones around here, but that's all I've seen =]
