Found this little fellow in our flower bed this morning. He’s a little upset at my 2 year old for trying to pick him up, lol, but he’s completely harmless.

If the snake sticks out its tongue first, it's only polite to return the gesture.

That is not a juvenile rat snake.
It's one of them pygmy rat snakes.
Stays little forever like some humans do.

I would not generally classify this rat snake as juvenile since it appears to be at least a year old. I would classify it as precociously pubescent but physically immature. That’s why it appears to be a bit moody despite its physical inability to hurt anyone. Cute little thing!

Precociously pubescent and physically immature is the worst no matter what species you are dealing with!

What are those two needle looking things sticking out of his mouth ? You need to try to extract those. They look painful.

That is actually a yellow tailed groundhog viper. They are harmless to humans though.
