I'm pretty sure it's a juvenile bull snake2ndChanceAg96 said:

Eastern hognose
Yep. Young bullsnake. Nonvenomous and harmless.
Not a hognose.
Not a hognose.
Are you referring to the most recent snake post? If so, it is not a hognose
Yes. Seems like you have about a 50% chance of getting it right if you go with rat, hognose, coachwhip or water snake.
You'd have better odds if you read through these threads and learned the identifying characteristics.
Too quick on the trigger. I usually know my hogs.MyNameIsJeff said:

thanks!
Agcrock2005 got it. It's rat snake
They're good, correct?
Yes, they are good.
Unless you're a rat. Or a chicken egg.
I failed…. Just had about a 5 foot coachwhip cruise by just outside the back fence. Couldn't get close enough for a picture before he disappeared into the field.
Question for the experts though. He had that sandy tan color that is pretty common to central texas, but he also had some irregular bands probably four to five inches wide that were a slightly darker greyish shade. How common is that banding? First time I had seen one like that.

Luckily, I am an accomplished sketch artist.
On step 12 of 22 step BAS Anonymous program. Please donate, the struggle is real.
Best I can do for you. He was the typical light tan sandy color, but had darker gray bands similar to the ones circled in red on the snake in the picture. I can't even find a picture better than this to show what the bands looked like.aggiedata said:

Banding is fairly common, probably more so on eastern locality snakes. Hard to put a percentage on it though.txags92 said:

Had to give him a little encouragement to get out of the road
3 water snakes today with only 1 being close to water, my dumb dog has zero clue of a difference of snake and a stick and tries to run right over them. First dog I have ever had that I had to train what a snake is, normally its training not to attack them.

My brother sent me this today. Montgomery, TX. I thought it was a funky coachwhip at first, but the internet says yellow bellied racer. The green is real and spectacular.
Internet is right... they can be pretty bluish in that area
