This beautiful snake is most definitely NOT a Copperhead. The color, pattern and body shape do not match. This looks like a harmless gartersnake. You can look here for snakes found in your area, complete with very nice photos and descriptions to help you to identify them: http://dnr.maryland.gov/wildlife/Pages/p...
