Gray ratsnake

Gray ratsnake
The gray ratsnake or gray rat snake (Pantherophis spiloides), also commonly known as the central ratsnake, chicken snake, midland ratsnake, or pilot black snake, is a species of nonvenomous snake in the genus Pantherophis in the subfamily Colubrinae. The gray ratsnake is one of about ten species within the American ratsnake genus Pantherophis. (from Wikipedia).

I showed this photo to a biologist at church this morning. He identified it immediately.

It is almost certainly a colubrid. Almost all the snakes here are colubrids except for pit vipers, which this is not. Thanks for the visit.

Good catch Ronald, we don't often get a chance to photograph reptiles in their natural surroundings. (Except 3-4 years ago when the cat came indoors with a small grass snake in her mouth)!

Thanks, Maurice. My dogs are very good at killing snakes, including the poisonous ones. Branco finds them and barks at them. Garip shakes and kills them. I wish they would leave them alone.

Thank you very much, Danielle. There are many things here more dangerous than snakes. For example, fire ants. But I have learned to be safe.
