Pantherophis alleghaniensis
A common, nonvenomous snake found in Eastern North America. Formerly called Gray Ratsnake, it was lumped together with the Yellow and Black Ratsnake into a conspecific complex (P. alleghaniensis).
Chicken coop
This large ratsnake was found in a chicken coop eating an egg. It spat the egg out after a failed attempt to crush it and slithered into the coop. The egg was gone the following morning.
