It has been pointed out to me (thank you John Harris!) that I misidentified the snake. Instead of a rat snake, this is a Florida pine snake, another of the 'good guys' that dine on a diet of moles, rabbits, mice, rats, squirrels, lizards, and other snakes and their eggs. It is not dangerous to people. Learn more about Florida pine snakes on this link to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
New to me!
ReplyDeleteThe Florida pine snake is new to me as well, Momite
