It sounds like a king snake, they are harmless. I cant tell you what kind it is because it depends on were you live.
I have know clue but i wanna know cause my brother saw one in our barn he described it as gray body black head and a lil bit to 17 ft!!
probably a coral snake or something
Based on your description, the snake you are referring to is likely the Eastern garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis). This species is known for its tan body, black head, and thin yellow band around its head, making it easily recognizable.
the redhawk snake. found only in the united states area.
Because that's exactly what its colour is... A sandy-coloured body with a black head.
Red Coachwhip or "Red Racer
The snake you are describing is likely a diamondback water snake. They are non-venomous and typically have grey bodies with prominent black diamond-shaped markings bordered in white or light gray. They are commonly found near water sources like rivers, streams, and ponds.
a coin
No, it does not because it will bleed to death. As with other vertebrates, a snake's brain needs to have blood pumped through it by the heart. If the head its removed from the blood supply, the brain can no longer function.
Are you saying that the snake has like a "hood" around the head? If so, that is a cobra.
A young common grass snake
Yes, you can. The simple way is to look at the snake. A venomous snake generally has a neck and then the head. The head is usually diamond shaped and you can see where the head and body are different. A non venomous snake has one long line from the body to the head. One reason there is a difference is the poison sacks in the venomous snake create the look of a neck and the head is more pointed than round because of the fangs.
