Bull snake, extremely rare pattern however being that it looks like two different snakes.
Possible hybrid but bull snakes have many patterns.

Agree with bull snake. I always get them and gopher snakes confused, but I believe the gophers are out west. (I think the same family though)

Yes, this is a bull snake a/k/a gopher snake. Non-venomous but can get quite large. On a field trip back in grad school, we caught one of these out near Ballinger. It was a youth at the time (maybe 2ft long), and the students decided to call it "Maximus" after the movie "Gladiator," which had recently come out. By the time I finished school, it was about 4 ft long and still not fully grown...

That’s a really interesting snake!
Thanks for posting the pics!
Never been to a camping world. I prefer Dick's to be honest.

Spend time with the ones you love. Time is not guaranteed.

We hunt just east of Maryneal, in fact the railroad tracks from the cement plant run through our lease.
