Juvenile western diamondback ?
It's not a hognose or WDB. See my post above. Pretty certain it's one of those I listed.
Personally, I think it is a Prairie King Snake but I'm not 100%.
There are about 3 snakes (maybe 4) that all look close to this and I'm not familiar with all of them well enough to discern which is which. Location would help limit that list a little bit.

It's a prairie kingsnake.
Sorry gentleman but they don't really look anything like a hognose or western diamondback.

I'm with Jeff on this one, hard for me to sometime distinguish between the Prairie Kingsnake and the Great Plains Rat at times.
I initially thought Kingsnake as well, but a google image search said rat snake and threw me off (it's already well established google images isn't good at this).

I uploaded it to grok and it said western diamondback

I don't remember the exact circumstances, but I remember image searching another snake that I was having a hard time IDing, and I just remember it being WAY off (like Prairie Kingsnake / Western Diamondback off).
Definitely don't trust AI just yet at snake IDs. That will be a good indicator of its progress once it starts getting these right.
The Seek app also mis-ID'd a picture of the one ran over on my lawnmower the other day- AI thought it was a water snake of some sort and it was a rat
I'm sure there is some sort of liability and if there is even .01% doubt it will say its a venomous snake so you will just leave it alone and not get bit.

Nerds made grok. Nerds don't go outside. Nerds think snakes are poisonous.

Western hognoses have a fairly similar patterning, but of course have the upturned snout.
I know a lot about a little, and a little about a lot.
That is a beautiful snake, wow.

He really is... AI is very bad at animal identification for some reason. Much better at plants but still not perfect at all.

First one I've caught in a long time.
FWIW, AI got this one right!

Yeah, hognoses are cool. I've owned every species globally except for the South American tricolor Lystrophis.

Just caught glossy snake #2 about 3' from where I caught the one last week on my porch. This one is even smaller.
My wife threatened to remove a part of my body with my brisket knife if I brought it in the house.

I'm in Lavaca county. My initial thoughts were either Prairie King or Hognose but the snout didn't look all that much like a Hognose to me, but it was so little and we were in a hurry to make it to school on time that I didn't get that great of a look.
It was dancing its head around a lot, too.

Very picky eaters. Finally got my Eastern I used to have eat frog-scented mice.

Leaving the dove hunting field this morning and this dude is in the road nearby. They normally coil up for a good mouth photo but not this one. Looked like a slinky, getting to the grass quickly. I'll be more careful tomorrow morning picking up birds.
you get your daughter that corn snake yet?
Ha no... still working on the wife. She is pretty freaked out by snakes. Almost talked her into a ball python the other day.
