Don't know what it was but the largest snake i've ever seen outside a zoo

was in Amherst County Va near the james. One of us threw a stick near it and it brought its head and looked at us. Black along it's back and black and white spot pattern along the he length of it's belly. Anybody know what it was?

Could be a black snake, a rat snake or a king snake -- fordham 06/21/2018 2:56PM

Sounds like a typical black snake, the most common one I've seen in VA. -- BG Hokie 06/21/2018 11:48AM

This one was fat but GIS shows them getting that way ** -- HokieDan95 06/21/2018 11:56AM

We see them of all sizes sunning at bridges ** -- TomTurkey 06/21/2018 11:53AM

Oval or arrowhead shaped head? Round or slit eyes? ** -- TomTurkey 06/21/2018 11:40AM

Didn't get close enough to tell ** -- HokieDan95 06/21/2018 11:41AM

I think so ** -- HokieDan95 06/21/2018 11:54AM

Not dangerous. You still go first. ** -- TomTurkey 06/21/2018 12:00PM

Depending on snake, pin head, pick up and move it along ** -- TomTurkey 06/21/2018 10:50AM

Pick up a rattlesnake... no thanks ** -- fordham 06/21/2018 11:05AM

Didn't read far enough or watch enough video -- TomTurkey 06/21/2018 11:41AM

Timber rattler. I didn't realize they were endangered. ** -- BG Hokie 06/21/2018 10:56AM
