Snake ID- juvenile racer?

Found this guy enjoying the turf in my yard yesterday. Not super familiar with non venomous snakes. Is this a racer? Sucker was aggressive as I got near him.
After further review, I agree with Rize. Probably munching on the dozens of tree frogs I have on my back patio

Looks like that’s possible. Thought I had another picture but I can’t find it

Speckled king. Probably the coolest most badass snake in the South.

I will piggy back your thread to show off this big non venomous bastard. Leaving my chicken coop with a s freshly injested rat.
Been getting shite from my FIL who said I need to kill it because AI said it's a timber rattler

Nice rat snake.

Juvenile speckled king snakes like that one (last one I saw was younger) will pick up their tail and rattle it like a rattler
It was the damndest thing I ever saw
Made me question what I was seeing. But I looked it up, and sure enough, they will imitate a rattler when they feel threatened as a juvenile

Adults will do it as well. Many snakes do it - kings, rats, racers, etc.…If they are in dry leaves it can be very audible. I’m sure many harmless snakes have had their heads blown off as a result.
