What kind of snake is this??

[Lolo76]

My friend just acquired a snake off craigslist, when he went to buy a couple of tanks... the guy threw in two snakes with the tanks, since their buyer apparently flaked earlier in the day. My neighbor ended up taking one of them, and we're all stumped as to what she is! I think her body looks like a striped corn, but the face just doesn't look corn-ish to me. Any ideas?

P.S. Don't worry, we got her out of that filthy tank... she's in a 41qt tub for now, until we can get the other one clean.







Looks like she's going into shed...

Never mind... somebody gave me the answer on another forum, and it appears she is an Everglades Rat Snake.
