About 4 ft long, 1-1.5" in diameter. Black with yellow stripes, head same size as body. View in image is from the tail.
Charlotte, NC. Wooded park.
Looks like a pair of black kningsnakes to me. It seems to be a male trying to mate with a female. The bottom snake seems a bit larger and that's my basis to assume that it's a female snake.
The believe there are two snakes in the picture. Either a male and female courting/mating or two males wrestling to establish dominance.
