This guy has been hanging around our house in central Virginia, and we've got a couple small dogs, so I wanted to make sure it wasn't a copperhead. Its a baby right now...maybe 6" long? Hard to get a pic of him, but this is one of his top/side. Any guesses?
Thanks!

Although being able to see its face and head would help, I'm pretty sure this is an Eastern Hognose snake. It is DEFINATELY not a Copperhead-wrong color, wrong pattern, wrong scale type.

Looks to be an Eastern Hognose. Definitely not a Copperhead.I'm including a link to help ID snakes in your area.

I agree...hognose. ~~Greg~~
You guys are right on! Thanks for the link...one of those patterns looks identical to the one in our yard. Its good to see that its not considered venomous...I guess I won't have to chase it out of the yard.
Thanks again
