Snake

R.I.P

Hello Virginia Minks, and welcome to Project Noah! I am referring to your second spotting here, since it has been deleted. Chun is correct, it looks like this snake was killed in order to make a spotting. Project Noah does not tolerate the killing of organisms for a spotting, as many people are offended by these types of photos. For any more questions, you can email us at rangers@projectnoah.org, or read the FAQ here: http://www.projectnoah.org/faq

I hope to see more of your spottings in the future, and thanks for your understanding.

In Effingham County it most likely to be a Yellow Rat Snake.

This could be the gray morph (called the Eastern Gray Rat Snake) http://georgiainfo.galileo.usg.edu/wildl...
Or a the yellow morph (Yellow Rat Snake).

I am leaning towards the yellow but you had a better view and would be able to make a better ID.
