Had a visitor today, anyone know the what kind it is? I'd say it was at least 30" and more than likely over 3'.

Ew-w-w-w. Yes, indeedy, it certainly IS a snake!!

(Texas, if that helps anyone make an I.D.)

Looks like some type of a garder snake, unsure.

I think, it's an Eastern Yellow-Bellied Racer. You can almost see the transition in color at the bend behind the head, in the last pic.

That is what it looks like to me, Coluber constrictor flaviventris.

That is what I was thinking after I did a quick search earlier, just wanted others opinions. The behavior matched it to a "T". Fast, very aggressive when cornered, and tail rattling. Thank you.
