Snake identification anyone??

[Farmritch]

These were seen in the Mishawaka/Osceola area the one on the far right was very aggressive.
I did some looking but could not definitively ID them myself
Any ideas.
Thanks!

The picture is really small...but from what I can see I would say an Eastern Ribbon Snake. Non-Venomous. Kin the the Garter Snake

I looked at them but they don't have the orange color of these.

Indiana not yet dead snake.

If the head has a triangle/diamond shape, it is a venomous species.

That's not really true. The Hognose snake and some water snakes have a triangle-shaped head and they are not venomous.

The pic is too small to get a good look at them.

Well to be completely technical the Hognose is mildly venomous and has rear fangs but they are not deadly...

You're right, good call.

My son and I caught a Hognose snake one time and brought him home for awhile. He would eat only toads, I could never get him to eat mice, so we let him go.


BTW: After another look at the OP pic, those look like brown snakes. Were they small, like less than a foot long?
