Need help identifying this baby snake. Found him in my garage, should I sell the house?

It looks like a baby copperhead to me but the tail isnt yellow and the markings are kind of faded . Maybe it was in shed?

The only thing that makes me think otherwise is the long arse skinny tail.

When I was a kid, my buddy and I were breaking in our brand new Remington 870 20 gauges shooting cow paddies and shite in the woods at the camp. He shot this old rotted stump and about 20 of those little demons poured out. Guns needed to be cleaned that night.

Initial thought was a Texas rat snake

But may be a banded water snake.

I think that is a baby cottonmouth...

ETA: Not the OP's pic, the one with the chartreuse tail...

The banding does look better for that...it just wasnt as dark as the pics I had seen of them.

id it bite you? If not, cowboy up and grab it. If it bites you then just head to the hospital and sit in the parking lot and wait. You'll either have to run inside or you'll be fine.
