What kind of snake is this?
I live in East Texas and found a tiny snake in my house. My dad thinks it’s a copperhead, but it doesn’t seem like it according to pictures on the internet. We have many copperheads in our woods and our dogs have run into them quite a few times, but they were adults. It’s a dark brown with a kind of bronze tint to it and a golden brownish-bronze head. That is my best description. Sorry I don’t have a picture, my camera isn’t working right. If you have any questions I’ll be glad to answer!
(If you know what it is, can you please try to find a website containing it? It’s okay if you don’t, my dad would just rather see it on a website. Don’t ask me why I have no idea.)
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check the eyes, if they are round like a humans it is non poisonous. If they look like cats eyes then it is a poisonous snake, probably a copperhead.
Maybe this site will help.

I’m not good with snakes, but it the head is a tiny bit wider than it’s body. I think it’s called “no neck”.

Okay, I put a tissue in there with it and now it’s hiding and I can’t see it. I can’t remember it’s head, but there are round eyes.

@noelleptc
actually my mom caught it and put it in the box with a tissue. My bad, I don’t know why I said I did it.
Sorry for the confusion.
Is there a nearby university? If so take it into their biology department and ask them what it is. A zoo would be another good source of information.

We have a small species of snake in my area called a ‘sharptail’.
It is a coppery brown, very tiny, ( night crawler, earthworm size ) with a a stinger like point to it’s tail.
Texas..I’d be concerned about a baby Copperhead. Yikes.
Sharptails are insect eaters only.
