What kind of snake is this?

[HookJaw_Brimhall]

The only snakes I have killed are water snakes while fishing. I have slipped on rocks and bruised limbs and cut skin from getting so scared of the damn things. I they are going to beat me up, I'm going to beat them up.
The only other snake I would kill is a rattler. It is Illegal in Utah to kill any rattle snakes, but if they come near me I consider that a threat and I will defend myself. I hate the nasty little devils!!!
