Before I had a seizure from watching that video moving around, it (CZroe's) looked like a corn snake.

*shrug* And that's with Google's stabilization. I do see one point where I moved my head back and forth in case the wearable camera wasn't aimed at what I was looking at.

Anyway, the snake is definitely as black as the one in Ichinisan's video but the light reflecting on the scales combined with the camera adjusting for the shade instead of the lighted areas makes it look like that.

In this area, black + light belly + kinks most likely = Rat Snake.

I just realized that it was exactly 1 year later to the very day. Weird.

It's a scientific fact. Every year on 5/22 (Rat Snake Day), southeastern rat snakes go to areas with people to impress their mates by tolerating the presence of humans for as long as possible. Many die.

Did you accept the video as a response? That's really the only reason I bothered.
