Great Plains Rat Snake.

To me it looks more like a texas bull snake by the coloring but not the best pic in the trash can lol.

If it was up high it's probably a rat snake. I haven't seen a lot of bull snakes climb (not that they won't) but I have seen a lot of rat snakes up on buildings and in trees.

Here's another Bull Snake example. Several members discussing their climbing ability.

The pattern says it's not a rat snake. The long slender body and head say it isn't a hognose. Just my two cents

I thought I still had a picture of a Great Plains Rat Snake I caught but I guess I don't. Western Hognose Snakes get about 3 feet long at the most. That snake appears to be about 5 feet in length. Although they have similar markings on their head that's way too big to be a Hognose and not the right markings or coloration for a Bullsnake.

Bull or Rat. Either way, they are the good guys. Please release it safely and let it carry on getting rid of rodentia.

It cracks me up how all you snake lovers whine and ***** about others who can’t necessarily every snake in Texas when it’s booking through the weeds, but you experts can never agree on one in a bucket.

In TX we have 76 species of snakes. If you include both species and subspecies in that number, it gives you 115 or more - the highest number in all of the United States. And here we have it narrowed down to 2 (maybe 3). Not too shabby.

FYI that trash can won't keep him long, a caught a speckled king snake after he ate a rattlesnake, put him in a plastic trash can to show the kids, 1.5 hrs later that rascal was GONE!

It’s still alive currently. In the trash can. Neighbor’s husband will handle it when he returns home. It’s in Weatherford if someone wants it.

You aren’t man enough to handle a bull snake in a trash can??

Good snake, turn it loose. It’ll do a lot more good alive than it would dead.

I am going with rat snake, the head markings and shape are wrong for a bull snake.
