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.

Let me amend. Back in the late 90s, I went fishing on a good warm day in early April in the Henderson swamp. In more than one stunted cypress tree I saw Cottonmouths up in the branches sunning themselves. In fact I saw a couple very close at eye level.

Whoever said that the pit vipers don’t climb has clearly never fished in the spillway. Can’t tell you how many times I was pulling bream from a cypress or gum bottom and looked up to see a moccasin in the tree.
