I will guess a rat snake that is either a juvenile or had it's tail chewed on.
In another group I am in, they say a corn snake is a variation of a rat snake. Is that correct?
It isn't really a variation of rat snake so much as it is a species in the rat snake family Pantherophis. The Texas/Western/Black Rat Snake = Pantherophis obsoletus (which many call the chicken snake) is another species in the same Pantherophis family.
Corn snake = Pantherophis guttatus
