This snake was found near my home in Grand Prairie. I don't care for snakes, but this was very pretty. It was helped out the yard and send on its way.

I have never seen that kind of snake before. It is beautiful. I bet it is very hard to see in wild. The camo is really good.

Looks like one that Todd might like, although I did hear some faint screaming before I noticed this thread

I did an image search for Corn and King snakes and didn't readily see a clear match.

Looks very similar, general pattern-wise, that is.

Well, I have looked at a lot of pictures, but nothing really matches. My best guess was a specked king snake, but it just doesn't really look right.

Florida King Snake. My son had one as a pet for about 15 years. I got it for him when he was 5 to get him over a fear of snakes. It was 10" long. It stopped growing at 4'-8". Very tame and friendly snake. Markings exactly the same but yours has slightly more black.

I haven't seen one of those in years. I used to have a lot of them.
