Hi! It's been a while since I've been on here.
Anyhow, I found this snake that I believe is a Praire Kingsnake (as I have previously caught one), but I'm not 100% sure. Especially since I have since discovered a species of Rattlesnake that exists in this state that look similar (although to my credit, I'm pretty sure it is not a Pit Viper)
I do not intend to keep it, I'm just identifying it so that if I come across one of them again I know what it is.
Edit: I take EXTREME caution when catching any snake. Very little chance that he could have bitten me. (The camera is zoomed in - the picture looks closer than I actually was)
Edit: Also, this is in Central Oklahoma. Found in a pasture after a rainstorm.
