Thanks for all the replies! Great pictures, too. I also posted on the box turtle boards and was directed to the Louisiana wildlife site (duh, me!). Anyway, it's starting to look more like a brown snake. The line on its back was light colored -- probably the same as its background color. It was a fairly pale colored little guy (pinkish tan?); his markings were smaller and more delicate than those of the copperhead. He was kinda pretty.
