Need to see a closer look at the heads but neither are an eastern king snake, garter snake, or red-bellied water snake. The one with yellow markings could be a corn snake and the other is most likely a brown snake.
At least in the southeast, the shape of a snakes head instantly gives away if it's poisonous viper or not, some harmless snakes can flatten and spread their head when threatened to give the appearance of a viper though. Others shake their tail and make a noise pretending to be rattlesnakes lol! Copperheads have cat eyes and two tiny dots on top of their head...freakin heat sensors! I'm only saying this because juvenile copperheads are grey in color and often not recognized. They are also as dangerous if not more than adults because they can't control their venom.
*edit*
Oh yeah! If anyone plans on getting bit by an eastern coral snake you better do it fast. After October 2009 there will most likely not be any antivenom available.
