http://web.blomand.net/~dennmac/snake.htmlA little hard to tell in the picture, but I'm going with Rat or Corn snake.
Anybody have a guess what kind of snake this is? Solid dark grey in
color. Picture isn't too clear since I took it from behind the glass
storm door.
The last place on my property I expected to encounter a snake since he
had to climb 6 rows of brick stairs to get to the top of the porch, or
maybe shimmy up a gutter.
At least it isn't a copperhead which I've come across a few times in
past years.
I finally scared him away with a leaf blower (the wind did the job since
of course snakes are deaf

snake. Not poisonous and probably beneficial. Don't know where you are because that could make a lot of difference, but most vipers have a triangular head.

Thanks, I didn't think it was poisonous. I'm in Tennessee, at the foot
of a mountain.

Don't be surprised if it hasn't found a nice cool place to nest under or
near those brick steps. Sometimes they do have to come out and sun themselves to get warm and those bricks provide both.

I often see small lizards hanging out on those steps in the summer, I
don't know if snakes will eat lizards, kind of like cannibalism? lol
A couple of weeks ago I opened my back door which is level to the ground
and what looked like a baby version of this same snake had made it's way
past the rubber guard of the storm door and into the space where the
main door is. I took a broom and escorted him into the woods. I'd freak
if I opened the back door and saw one the size of the one that was on
the porch, lol.

I'm happy to see snakes around the place. They mostly eat stuff that
causes me woe...
