Nearly stepped on this guy while out scouting in the Sulphur Springs area. I don't think I've ever seen one like this and could use some THF assistance on the ID. I did not kill it but I did have a good chuckle thinking about what might have happened if TxKiller was with me.

Prairie Kingsnake. Haven't seen one in a long time around my place.
Sometimes it's hard being me! But somebody has to do it.

I think we have a winner with the speckled king snake. I just looked at some other pictures of some on Google and it's the same snake.
Thanks to everyone for the quick responses. Have a great day!

Speckled King Snake. I had one or two growing up and havent seen one in years. That is one I'd bring home and keep, awesome snake to have around either in the tank or taking care of critters.

Positive thinking may not solve all your problems but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

It's not a myth... here are some pics I took a few years back of a King eating a Copper Head.
