Lampropeltis getula nigra
2' long snake shed discovered under the rocks in our drainage culvert. I'm assuming this is from a either a king snake or gray rat snake as these are the species we see fairly regularly in our yard. The shed was very fragile & lacking the head section.
Semi rural.

Thanks for the info Lisa!
Karen,
In Tennessee, because it has no ridges along each of the scales, it is definitely a non-venomous snake. And yes, it is very likely one of your kingsnakes just going on the uniformity of the color.
