    Terrible photo! NOT a rattlesnake- look at the pointy tail, there's no rattle. Would help to know what state he's in- many things it could be, but all are harmless, so tell them to chill!

    Sorta thinking Great Plains rat snake, btw. (they're a close cousin to corn snakes) Tell them to check local guide book (online thru Fish & Game for their state- should have pics to help identify). DO NOT HARM IT

    Not a Great Plains then, likely a juvenile Eastern racer. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/i...4kEjQ&usqp=CAU

    Sure looks like a juvenile rat snake.
    Stay in peace and not pieces.

    It could also be that, but pics too blurry to be sure- can only say what it's not (ie. not something to fear & scream about).
