Yard man found this demon underneath my granddaughters plastic play wagon. I can't tell if its a copperhead or banded watersnake. The photo doesn't show the head. I need the experts to weigh in, like that TigerDad guy.

Hard to tell, but the bands look like a cottonmouth.

Agreed. Wish OP had gotten closer to get a head and pupil shot.

Tail looks a little thin. I’m going non-poisonous. But I honestly have no idea.

Looks like a young cottonmouth from the banding. Hard to tell 100% without a head in pic though.

Does not look like a copperhead at all

Cottonmouth until proven otherwise

Copperheads always have what looks like a hersey kiss looking pattern.

Based on the slender body and long tail my vote is non venomous but I'd err on the side of caution with that pattern

scary. Cotton mouth, but when in doubt chop the head off first.

Looks like watersnake to me.

But, I wouldn't have ventured in closer either to confirm
