Answers:
I'm from NC and it looks like a copperhead to me. They are fairly small but aggressive little buggers and venomous.

It looks like a rare necktie snake. They kill human males by constriction around the neck.
COPPERHEAD. Poisonous. Found all over the Eastern states. Count yourself lucky and don't pick one up again- could make you really sick if it bites.
