East Texas. I’ve never seen a snake like this before. It is solid black, appears to be non-venomous, about 4’ long and faaaaast.

I thought coachwhip but never seen a solid black one. Looks to be a black racer! Cool looking snake. I got about 3’ from it until it hauled butt.

Thanks!

Ha! I hate snakes, and had MANY rounds on me, but it was clearly a good one. This is timber/eastern diamondback country so I have bigger fish (snakes) to fry than this little thing.

Agree. Cool snake, have never seen one.

Eastern ratsnakes are all black like that. I’ve caught a couple.

This is most likely a racer

Never ever shoot a good snake. There are some that eat the bad ones. I prefer good snakes over rats and mice.
