Any body have any ideas on type of snake? I would show the head but he lost it during the battle.

Looks to be Copperhead. Better find the head and get rid of it in a safe place. Poisonous. Looks to have molted recently.

there's a few other snakes that look like copperhead - would have to have a closer look at head and/or tail end - https://amazingoutdooradventures.com/co ... hem-apart/

Thanks KE4avb
The pattern is the same but the color depth is slight different. Your pic is as close as I have seen with my searching.

We had a hard rain with lots of running water that may have flushed him out into the open.

The head is highly distorted with with a claw hammer. I took no chances and I treated him like he was poison.

Thanks Brian

Okie upon further searching it looks like the Broad banded Copperhead ie Texas Copperhead and considering you're in that neck of the woods it probably is.

All I know for sure is: Its a dead Oklahoma flat head (very flat)
Thanks for the help guys.

Okie you missed doing one additional thing to that snake:

You should have used an axe and cut it into a thousand pieces.

Well here is a Rattlesnake for you to watch out for Okie. The white rattlesnake is called the Rock Rattlesnake. (Source: Texas Parks & Wildlife)
