WARNING - ANOTHER SNAKE PHOTO
I was googling last night and the closest I could come to his pattern was a Rat Snake aka Chicken Snake. Said they were not poisonous. So that's a good thing.
It was pretty wicked watching him climb up that tree. Looked like no effort at all for him.
I thought it was also neat how he watched both of us. If one would move, his eyes would follow. Not as much with me, but he really kept an eye on Rick. I suppose with all of that prodding and poking, he was pretty upset with him.
We went riding after taking the photos. Was gone for about an hour and a half. Of course, he was not in the tree when we returned, so we'll probably find him again. At least this time we'll know right away that he's not poisonous.
Rick seems to be a "snake magnet". He's never had any fear of snakes. Last week he caught a snake. We thought at first he might be a coral snake. Then decided he wasn't brilliant enough in color to be a coral, but instead a king snake. Turns out (after he'd already let him go) he really was a coral snake!!
Edited: I see I forgot to add the photo, so added it here now.
