I know but it sounds so much more erotic to refer to them as a$$less chaps. I mean if I said you could make some snake skinned pants, the post would have lost all its comic effectAll chaps are a$$less. A$$ed chaps are usually called pants.
Longest I've seen in the wild would be a black racer. The one pictured below was about 7 feet. I was out scouting and saw it and took the picture. It's the little copperheads that worry me. They just lay there like a stick for you to step on. Other snakes will usually give you some indication they are there.
That's what racers look like where u live? Wow...really pretty. Ours are white/cream belly and dark black with no patterns.....when they are real small they have patterns similar to ur pic but it goes away as they get bigger. 6 foot racer is a jumbo for sure
Well, this is what I think a black racer looks like, lol. I may be wrong. That's what I have always called them. They are cool looking snakes, I did have one that was solid black whip through the woods one day while a friend of mine and I were out scouting. It was big! We startled it and it startled us. I can't say how long but it had to be a good 8 feet at least. I thought my friend was going to climb a tree with his fingernails!
Rat is better ID I think also
We find those little suckers everywhere
That's what happens when you are snakin around where you shouldnt.
I like black racers, and corn snakes because they keep the big ol marsh rats we have around here. Unfortunately that one chose the wrong place to sun bathe
Without better pic of course it impossible to tell.....rat snake, pine snake, kingsnake, corn snake...they all in the same subfamily of snakes...similar size,shape,coloring.....and harmless....worst u get it some little cuts and an infection if it hits skin....more strike happy than the venomous snakes but they just trying to scare u away. I've never been struck at by a venomous snake unless I was messing with it. Just walking by, even when surprised by 1 and within strike range, never had 1 try to bite me.
