Just checked the legality of keeping the snake in my state. Non-endangered snakes caught on your own property are legal to keep here in NC. Just wanted to ask one more followup question. I don't have my camera on me so I can't upload a photo, but I was wondering if I could give a description and someone could tell me to the best of their knowledge if it was a king snake or just nonvenomous just to be sure. I don't have huge experience with snakes; I only currently keep one ball python, so I would rather be safe than sorry.
It has a black background with thin white stripes down its full length and a few white spots on its head. It has a rounded head and from what I have researched 5 of the 6 venomous snake species in North Carolina have more of a square shaped head, with the only exception being the brightly colored coral snake.
