Copperheads don't hang out around people and wouldn't be inside an AC unit.
Head shape, markings, body shape and location are all wrong for copperhead.
Its a rat snake or some variation of a rat snake. Harmless mouse eater.bodebum likes this.Carl

I would have agreed with CarlF that it was a gray rat snake. I' not familiar with the other'un---they probably taste the same.

I guess the one I killed on my back porch didn't get the memo. Originally Posted by CarlF

how about this: "don't normally hang out around people".....
Juveniles are found in wet bottom lands, then adults move up to drier upland areas.Carl

It is not a rat snake it is an oak snake.
There is a difference.Ragnar Benson:
Never, under any circumstances, ever become a refugee.
Die if you must, but die on your home turf with your face to the wind, not in some stinking hellhole 2,000 kilometers away, among people you neither know nor care about.

I'm pretty sure the one that got into my AC was a rat snake but he was pretty crispy after they found him so I was not able to ask him exactly what species he/she was!

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
