This snake was picked up by one of our Animal Control Officers after 2 people were seen throwing it in the dumpster.

Can you help identify it?

Thanks

I can't really tell. It looks like a couple of kings I've seen but just from those pics I can't tell. Maybe some one thats more familiar with all the different kings can confirm it for you. Good luck and I wish the little guy well:)

Looks like a Florida King. It'll be easier to nail down just which one after it sheds.

Thanks all. I have a few more pics ill try to get up. Im off till monday so it will stay in my office till then. I might adopt it and I can confirm what it is.

Thanks again.

Could it be a Coachwhip?

The head looks like a Bull or Pine Snake, but the coloring is wrong...I think.

It looks almost exactly like a pine I used to have

i agree with leper65, bull or pine. based on available info. there are some color variations in both based on geographic location.

I thought Pine at first, but then saw a picture on google of a rat snake that looks similar.

I hope it sheds by monday so I can get better pics.

Thanks all.

I would guess judging by the first pic the scales on the head tell me its not a pine but a kingsnake those two large scales aren't usually on any pines I've seen so I'm guessing a kingsnake. Looks like a florida king or a dark patternless goini king. IMO I could be wrong though lol just saying.

I'm also gunna say goini kingsnake.

here is another pic, its a head shot.

Definately looks like a patternless goini kingsnake they look amazing once they shed. Why anyone would throw it away would be dumb I can't find any close to me besides online.

Sorry it took so long, but here is a pic.

I don't know if it's considered patternless but it sure looks like one of the goini complex. Great pets.

Could it be a Apalachicola Kingsnake?
