Sorry, I should have posted location. Yes, I am in Alabama, but my
daughter lives near Tampa Bay, which is where the snake was found.

"Your snake could be a juvenile Eastern Racer, Coluber constrictor.
There are three kinds that live in Florida. Click 'Yes' to find out
more about them." ??

How long was the snake?

It was about 12" long. From browsing the above link (good on,
thanks!), I'm guessing an Eastern Racer.


I'd say it is; given it is a juvenile. The patterns match very well.


So much so that I am going to re identify the picture on my web site.

Right. It is not a "hognose" you suggested one time.

We all do our "fair share" LOL
