Looks like a black rat snake or a black racer.

I thought a hognose was a type of skunk?


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Black Rat snake for sure.

You will get that lighter colored bands in their scales in a pre shed condition. Black rat snakes are really a very dark brown shade when it comes down to their color. I have handled hundreds of them in my lifetime adults and juveniles. Many think juvenile rat snakes are copper heads or milk snakes.

With that pattern, it looks like a water snake.
