killed this little fellow. I try to educate him on harmless snakes and venomous ones but this one kind of has me baffled. I say water moccasin what do ya'll think

Definitely not a cottonmouth it would be black not banded, but I am not sure looks venomous but not the pattern of a copperhead.

I meant to say he was about 18 inches long but the greenish tail kinda threw me off

Baby copperheads look like their parents but have yellow or green tails that they wiggle to lure lizards and frogs within striking range.
looks like juvenile cottonmouths have the same kind of tail

Truth. The shape of the patterns with dark splotches, the shape of the head, and especially the dark band across the eye give it away.
