Snake ID

This is a snake that a friend of a friend saw and snapped a pic of. Only thing i know is the location was in Belton. Not sure on a size/length or anything other than this pic.

Rat snake

I was thinking rat snake but the blotches down the side look different than the ones i have seen.

Wow. That's a beauty. The blotches have me thrown though.

as bright and pretty as that Texas Rat Snake is, he must have just shed

Very pretty Texas rat

From that far away it could be anything from an earth worm to a gaboon viper...

Highest chances are that it's a rat snake. The pattern could be that of a hognose as well. No way to tell without more detailed pictures.

I agree. That one has some color to it no doubt.

[Birddog66]

Wow. Very Pretty.

[muzzlebrake]

Some sort of baby or small exotic boa or python?
Never seen that sort of pattern on a rat snake.

Looks like one of them "I'm too scared to get close enough to get a close-up picture" snakes.....
