Seemed to be all black on back, no stripes as in the ratsnake
I’m not sure what species this is. It seems to be a species of garter snake but I’m not positive. My best guess is an eastern ribbon snake but the stripes are duller than the pictures I’ve seen. I found it going across my driveway from one clump of bushes to another.
Touch it a fine red powder shows out. Wish I could post the video!
