I put this on the Outdoor board a couple minutes ago, but thought with the traffic maybe it's better to ask here.

Wife saw this climbing our fence and go into the neighbor's yard. Said it was almost as long as our fence is tall (8').

I can't figure out what it is. In this pic it's already headed down the other side.

Answered on the Outdoor board. You know it's behavior shows it is 100% harmless. Our pit viper friends and the coral snake don't spend a lot of time climbing stuff. Just relax.

Rat Snake was the consensus on the OB.

Where are you located at?

That's a big fricking snake. I didn't think we really got snakes like that around here, except some invasive types. But the coloring is wrong for a boa I'm pretty sure.

It’s alive and that’s “problematic”.

Big snake climbing like that definitely a rat snake. Pretty harmless. Always had them climbing up trees looking for bird nest when we were kids.
