Hubs tells me that a rat snake and a chicken snake are the same creature, so we were both right! lol

My main identification concern is usually whether or not it's going to hurt me. Some of y'all may remember when I got bitten by a brown water snake in my greens patch summer before last. When I saw the pattern without seeing the head, I just knew I was going to die.

Rat snakes come in many colors, shapes and sizes. Usually they are beneficial. Usually. ;-)

Now, I’ve not known of a brown snake, except in NY. We have them down here? Are they bad news?
