I say it’s a black Kingsnake, but I’d like a better look at the head.
Was target shooting my new CZ-82 last week when I noticed
a snake coiled up on a flat rock, couldn’t see any markings
so looked closer, when I did ,it started rattling it’s tail.
Yep Rattlesnake, but he must have just molted or something cause he was a uniform grey/black no markings at all.
He was catching some rays on that flat rock.
As my father always said, “Watch where you STEP!”.
While they do taste like chicken, as I can attest, I prefer
to leave them alone. As someone once said, “Pepito, did I
ever tell you about the time I was stung by a dead bee?”.
