Came across these to snakes mating today. Haven’t seen these before.

They are bull snakes, which are also known as pine snakes in the Eastern US and gopher snakes in the Western US. They get up to 8' long.

I would of kept them.

Yup, I'd say Bull snake as well. I like having them around. I see them with "pest lumps" in their stomach often.

Yep my dad always called them pine snakes, generally he left them along but I remember him killing one late one November evening when it decided to crawl out of hibernation and join him and ma in bed

Later we kind of thought it might have been hibernating between the mattresses and when the cabin warmed up got active

Never knew ma knew those kinds of words

They are great mousers and will also kill rattlers. I am not a snake fan but I always let the bull snakes go on their way.

Easter fox snakes. Some people call them bull snakes, but they are not. Look them up.

Jim is right. It is a fox snake.

Thanks guys. My boss wanted them dead. I was “busy” trimming and they just plain got away. Darn. Lol Looked like good mouse eaters to me.

I have several bull snakes around but not that light in color.

they eat lots of birds and squirrel

Dead

I have never seen on of those.
but
What flatlanders call a Milk Snake we call a Pine Snake

Glad they got away.

I have never seen a fox snake big enough to eat a squirrel. They will put a hurting on the mice though. They will eat frogs too if they get the chance.
