A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
The photo is fairly dark and so it is difficult to make out details, but the tail is very long and slender. It might be a Coachwhip snake (Masticophis flagellum). See http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/herpetology/fl-... for more information. Just one more option to investigate.
it might be a Anerythristic (Black) Cornsnake. this is patterned as a normal Cornsnake but it lacks the red pigment in its skin.this leaves it colored black, white, and various shades of grey. might want to check it out..... thanks!!
