My buddy found this and sent me the picture. It is a yellow rat snake obviously. Yellow Rat snakes are basically a striped snake, as is most of this one. Most other rat snakes are patterned similar to a corn snake or milk snake but in the case of the black rat it becomes difficult to see the pattern as it becomes darker. What I find interesting in this instance is where the body is bulged from whatever animal it had recently dipatched, you can clearly see the distinct pattern markings of a typical rat snake and not just the stripes.
