Snake in Backyard



My daughter (age 22) was reading
on the back flagstone deck when this snake (about 5 feet long I would guess) crawled over her foot. She took this picture with her cell phone, and she said the snake eventually slithered back into the stone wall behind it.

I think this is almost certainly a Black Rat Snake with a little more than average splotching on the front. It could also be a Black Racer, or an Eastern Kingsnake with very non-distinct markings, I suppose, but I think not.
