Is this an Eastern Kingsnake.

Caught this guy today, just wanted to make sure he was a non-venomous eastern kingsnake before I tried to handle him too much.http://imgur.com/VDG27

I would say so, but I'm no genius when it comes to colubrids.

Yes, that's a kingsnake. Looks like he's going into shed, too, based on that cloudy eye.

Yes I noticed that.

Lampropeltis gutula as you suspected. Great natural rodent control.

Definitely! I love the two kings that I have living in my back yard - just crossing my fingers that they don't find each other.
