Snake ID

[Patton]

Pretty familiar with my snakes but not sure on this species. Slender and long body. Black with a white stripe running just above his belly line, and I believe I saw a faint red line at the same level near his tail. Found him in the middle of shedding. Found outside Johnson City. I'm thinking racer or coachwhip?

We just call them black racers, not a generally mild mannered snake, disturbed a den full several years ago while hunting rattlesnakes, darn things things ran us off the side of the hill.

I'm surprised I even remembered the name,spelled it right and got it right to be honest.lol I've never seen one except in books so it's a wonder I was even close to right.

Now, this was a snake ID thread worth reading. I had no earthly idea this snake even existed.

I figured this was some fake snake, joke thing. Never heard of them either, cool find.

My guess was a hungry rat snake
