This would most likely be a baby black rat snake. Until adulthood their markings strongly resemble a diamondback rattlesnake. They will often mimic the coiled strike pose of a rattler and even wiggle their tail. I can tell you from personal experience this is an effective method of scaring off predators.

∙ 8y agoThe gopher snake, or bull snake, gives, perhaps, the best imitation of a rattlesnake. See the image above. It coils up in the rattlesnake manner and vibrates its tail. If the snake is on dry leaves or grass, it sounds just like a rattlesnake. A few other species share this behavior when threatened.
