Coffee on the swing Snake ID

[parkchief100]

Hey guys, I had been having coffee on the front porch swing for about an hour and a half this am. I was just relaxing listening to someone’s chickens, cows, birds and watching three cottontails in the yard. I went to move the sprinkler and right at the corner of the house behind my swing was this little rascal. I know it’s not poisonous but what kind is it sayeth the Tbh faithful? Happy Memorial weekend and carry on! Dilly Dilly!!!

Looks to be a Western Rat Snake (formerly Texas Rat). One good clue that it's a rat snake is when you see a snake all "kinked" like that. Rats have amazing control of their bodies. It's why most are excellent climbers.

I just wonder how many rat/chicken snake id threads there have been on the GS?? You'd think by now everybody from Stevie Wonder on down would know how to identify a dang rat snake...
