Saddles and side markings lead Mr. Dot to believe it's a very vividly-colored Prairie Kingsnake. Extremely dark though.


Hmmm I like that guess too. Wish we had some more pics.

I don't know - the dorsal blotches seem a bit too irregular and widely spaced for a Prairie King. We need a ventral shot of this thing. Might be a genetic morph of something.
Alx, Hog nose crossed my mind at first glance too.
One of the things that makes me think water snake is that the colors outside of the blotches are not uniform - the browns change and blend, and that tends to be more common in water snakes. And it was found around water.
Or this might be a photoshop just to stump the snake fiends on here.
