its a corn snake. i have one in my room. They are really docile. No, it's a great plains rat snake. I was shocked to catch a new born juvenile on my back porch a few weeks ago. Very cool snake!

Man, I am horrible at identifying snakes. That looks like a cobra to me. Every snake I see is either a rattler, if rattlers are present, or a Cobra if no rattlers. Of course they have to die because they are poisonous.

Not a great plains rat snake. Very similar, but a more common sub species of the great plains rat snake.. The Texas Rat snake, more commonly referred to as Copperhead or Rattlesnake by folks who run when they see it LOL. When young they are identical in coloration to a great plains, but the texas rat snake looses a lot of its color at it gets older.

What are you going to do with it? I have a nice spot ready for him. Was looking for a redtail boa, but would love a nice rat snake also.

Nice to see not everyone kills snakes just for existing! They're truly awesome critters and help keep rodent populations down. Unfortunately, plenty of ingorant people out there think they're all poisonous, or all somehow out to get them personally. We all know it's actually the killer rabbits we have to look out for!

Yes, Texas Rat Snake. Notice the yellow and red markings between pattern markings.

Cool snake. I have a creek that runs right in front of my house and I get moccasins in my yard quite often. I would rather see a rat snake that a mocassin...
