Pantherophis guttatus
Approximately 3 feet long. Muted orange with dark orange rectangular pattern running the length of the snake. The underside is a perfect checkerboard of black and white (not pictured).
Often found near grain stores where they feed on rats and mice. This one was found crawling across my parents yard heading into a pine forest.
This is supposed to be a common snake in our area, but I have only seen three now in four years. I'm excited to see a larger young adult and hope that more will come now that I'm here to make sure they are not mistaken for copperheads.
