It's usually called a rat snake or a chicken snake, though officially, I think those are two different species.
Incidentally, we intended to release the poor fellow, however, s/he had eaten the fake egg from the nest box and was destined for a slower death than dee-aitch could offer. :(
A snack-happy bibliophile and silly, laughing person, educating four scrumptious children in a somewhat Latin-centered
classical homeschool. With chickens.

Such a bad boy, or girl..LOL
You are bold for even taking the picture. I would be running......still.....
I hope it did not have any friends.
Thanks for creeping me out!

Good grief, if I show this pic to my son, he'll never go collect the eggs again. :}
Blech! Yeuch! Yah! Pthoooey!
You have thoroughly and decidedly quelled my (admittedly already tepid) desire to raise chickens.
Bleyah!
Oh, bizarre. I know I left a comment on this a couple weeks ago, but it's gone. Bloglines popped up showing you had a new entry this morning. Weird.
