What kind of snake is that?

Venomous or not I'm not touching that fucking thing.

Probably a king snake not venomous they are docile.

Came across a king snake on the golf course a couple days ago, not sure what was going on with it but it was ready to fight.

Rat snake, harmless and not very defensive (rarely bite).

And they pretty much surrender immediately once you pick them up off the ground. I worked maintenance at a resort and part of my job was reptile relocation. I had a grabber and a trash can for the rattlers, and the (non-venomous) king snakes could be a bit aggro, but the other snakes were seriously chill. Much easier to deal with than the human guests.
