Darby Dog alerted me to this snake living under our porch.
This looks like a hybrid between a Black Racer and a Copperhead, but I think it may be a rat snake.
Can you see his tongue flicking?
Here’s lookin’ at you, kid.

Agreed almost certainly a black rat snake. There are a lot of rat snakes, me and Ted used to keep corn snakes (a rat sub-species) as pets. Non-triangular head = not a pit viper and other than corals means harmless in the U.S. One this size is most likely king of your yard, he hunts birds and small mamamals and nothing hunts him.
Really nice photos.
