I found a slinder snake in my shed coiled up in my tool box. It probably was not over 2 ft and not under 18 inches. The best I can remember it had a black head and tail and had a large diamond type pattern on its back. Not the type of diamonds on a rattle snake either. My neighbor thinks it was a copperhead but I don't think so. It did not have that viper looking head. I live in north Alabama out in the country. Any idea what type of snake this may have been??
