Came home a few mins ago and this was on my front porch. Had the camera but couldn't get the flash on, and by the time I got something to kill it with, he was gone. I am in the middle of town, but I have a large live oak tree, and lots of cicadas this year. Need to get my boots on, a good light and go back out looking. He was probably on the porch for bugs, I keep a light on all night. sorry, poor pic.

Sorry about the pic, I had my Nikon on a strap around my neck, and I couldn't get the flash to pop up. With flash I would have gotten an excellent pic. If he is a rat snake, he better be careful, he aint big enough to eat a suckling mouse. Maybe a foot long. The head was in shadow, couldn't see it at all. Pretty big shock to walk up to the house, and seeing what I was sure was a copperhead on my porch. I have been in this house over 50 years, and only earth snakes and garter snakes. Some years we get green anoles, and fence lizards, always have the little geckos at night. Never anything venomous, heck maybe still never. If I see him again we will get positive id.
