What type of snake could this be?

Question

Running in the evening a few times, I've come across several similar-looking snakes that I just can't identify. They're about 3 feet long, gray with dark-gray to black diamonds that are not filled in (just diamond outlines). They kind of look like sticks. The area where I run is densely forested with several lakes and streams nearby. I live in north Florida. I don't think the snakes are venomous because I stepped on one once by accident and it didn't strike. What kind of snake could this be?

Answer 1

Maybe a Rat snake i am guessing...Rat snakes are found in many habitats but are usually in wooded or swampy areas, where they can often be found in trees where they like to climb. These snakes are usually the biggest of the common snakes and reach lengths of four feet or more. They range from black to light gray or brown with darker blotches on the body and a light belly with dark blotches. These snakes eat birds, eggs, rodents, and have been known to eat chickens.

I would hate to see you get the wrong answer here. Look up photos of snakes for the area you live in. That is your best bet.
