So I go outside to feed the horses and find a cat in the barn toying with something. As I walk up I realize it is a snake.

Poor little thing is a little roughed up...

Can anyone help identify it so I know better what i'm dealing with?


You can see its been chewed on. !


I live in mid-Tennessee area.

I was thinking about sheltering it until it is better healed and able to escape barn cats...


Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!!!
