can't see the color very well but it looks like a garden snake. The tail is tapered & not blunt & the head is not
angular shaped , so this does not look like a poision snake , just a very scared garden snake. They eat insects & other small critters...let it go & grow.... 4951

Texas Brown.  They only get about 6-8" long and are plentiful in the area.  Totally harmless but misinformed and needlessly fearful people kill them because they are either afraid of all snakes or mistake them for baby copperheads.  The copperhead will be darker and look like it has had hersey's kisses dropped on its back. 4951

You can also tell by the eyes-poisonous snakes with the exception of coral have cat's eye pupils. (slits).  Non-venomous have round. 4951

  That is non-poisonous, but not the same as the one I posted a pic of.  I had posted the Texas Diamondback Watersnake. 4951

I was thinking a baby diamond back water snake.  I couldn't see the head enough to see much. 4951

I bought a book titled "Texas Snakes" after we moved here.  It has pictures of all the snakes found all over Texas.  It's come in handy over the years.  There is also a good web-page:   www.texassnakes.net/ pictures.htmlGoldenG irl:  That's a good point.  Many people only think to look at the ground for snakes.  Many of them like to climb trees to sun themselves and to hunt! 4951

@vlabroski:   You are absolutely correct.  However, I can't see myself getting close enough to a snake to see it's pupils!

Not all poisonous snakes have elliptical (cat like) pupils. Pythons, Boas & Anacondas also have elliptical pupils. Also cobras, mambas, coral snakes and others have round pupils. Many non-venemous night snakes also have elliptical pupils, so unless you can properly identify snakes, be careful if & when handling them. 4951
