Hey Wormtail,

It looks like a Black Rat Snake, which are fairly common.

Very nice shot, but not a clue about snake identity.

Thanks, I thought I did good considering all I had was the 18-55mm lens.

It was probably 3 feet from head to tail. It seemed to be very healthy. We spent about 10 minutes with it and then let it go on it's ways.
