My brother-in-law found a snake in our camper while we were visiting in Viper Kentucky. It was about the size of a garder snake, but it was black with a gold or yellow line across its neck. Is this a copperhead? If not do you think it is dangerous. The only reason I ask is because we found the snake skin of its possible mother hanging out of the closet. By the skin we could not tell what kind of snake that one was.

No, not a venomous snake. Just a harmless ringneck. :)

Copperheads are brownish-white with reddish-pink on them, what you saw was a Red-bellied Ringneck Snake.
