I came home to find the back portion of this snake trying to force it's way down a hole in front of my garage. Can't find it in my snake book. Snake has disappeared....down hole. Can anyone identify it? It's the same color as in the photo. Rat snake?.....I hope. Didn't even know there was a hole there....and I go in and out of the garage door all the time. Stuck hose into hole and it keeps running, and not filling up. It's under the driveway. Must be big hole!
