I just took the dog for a walk in the woods, and stumbled across this little fella. Can anyone identify what kind of snake this is?

well its not a burmees albino trouser snake thats for sure... i dunno man it looks mean! did it have a rattle lol??? yikes!
 
Looks to me like a hognose snake, never seen one in person but from other pics.
 
Not poisonous. They eat small amphibians I believe. Does not look like a rattler at all... I have seen them, and you will know instantly when you see one!
 
Google... I love snakes haha I did not google :) Living in PA have you ever seen a rattler?
 
i live in so az. i know first hand about rattle snakes and scorpions and stuff. the diamondback rattler is very deadly. and they have an unmistakable sound
 
I have seen diamond backs in person... not fun lol.... turn around and go the other way...lol

and lots of scorpions, but there nothing to be afraid of....
 
not personally but ive heard there are very rare timberback? rattlers in southern pa.. and i was mostly joking anyhow so easy there croc hunter I:I

Just timber rattle snake,not timberback. Supposedly there around here but I've never seen one and I'm out and about all the time. All I ever see are bull snakes
 
we have some rattlers around here, killed a 57" one while on the quad with my son, that was a while back and he was just around 6 years old, now we have quads again but damned if i can find that spot in the strips, everything is so grown up now, i ride there every time i go out, there ended up being 8 rattlers on that little hillside that day, and they all went into one den, there was a bigger one than the one i killed, prolly like 7 feet long, i was fukin with them with a LONG stick, they were striking at it and you could see the venom flyin thru the air, i made the boy get up on the blaster and stay there, but they are eastern diamondbacks not timber, i do think there may be some timber rattlers here in pa, but mostly eastern diamondbacks, ive seen and fooled with alotta snakes in my day, but never seen a hognose, pretty cool!!!!
 
yeah I hve never seen a hognose in the wild and I am always looking for snakes. Saw my first rattle snake in PA just last year. Was about four foot. I want to see another one this year. Going up the weekend of the fourth.
