Coluber constrictor
Feisty Racer I've seen a few different times in the same general area. About 4-ft in length, with solid black coloration except for it's white belly.
This one was found on the banks of the Hidden Lake at Enterprise Nature Park in Ooltewah.
Enterprise Nature Park is crawling with Black Racers. I've seen more Racers there than any other species. Usually spotted around mid-day; they will often flee instead of striking a defensive posture. This one presumably has a nearby burrow because I've seen it in the same spot multiple times.
