Can you identify this snake?

Looks like a Gopher snake.
Round eyes (the black pupil ) are a usual sign of a non- venomous snake. Venomous snakes usually have the "cats eye"
Pupil.
But the Gopher snake will imitate a rattle snake by flattening it's head and shake it's tail to vibrate.... even tho it has no rattles.

Agreed about the one on top, but are they both the same type?

I think it is two pics of the same snake.

We call them bullsnakes around here, I see wikipedia has bullsnakes as a subspecies of gopher snakes and I am not sure anyone has really gotten down to the nitty gritty to decide what we have.

They can get big and generally don't have a great attitude.

Per Jim, there are two snakes together in the photo. I couldn't tell if the markings were the same.

Well if they were in my yard... they would be called dead snakes.

I realize everyone has different opinions but I don’t like spiders or snakes.

I'm thinking Diamondback water snake

Agreed

Same X pattern, same bug eyes, same lines on the top of the mouth.

Were they near water?

I thought it was all one pile of snake, one seems dirtier than the other but they look similar to me..

I'm not crazy about them either but it doesn't give me a right to end their lives. Just stay away from them-

I am ok with spiders, for the most part. I will jump if one gets on me, but it is more about the tickling sensation than being freaked out by a spider touching me. I like them because there are a lot of other critters out there that bug me more than spiders, but the spider eats them.

Snakes I am not a fan of. Fortunately for me most of the snakes around me are little critters who just run off when you uncover them.

Yep, in a man made stone break wall at a lake.
