What kind of snake is this?

He is sleeping out in our old dirty shed.

Looks poisonous to me.

It's not venomous. Harmless rat snake. Out of curiosity, what traits lead you to think that it would be venomous?

Thanks for the reply. I know nothing about snakes and this one just looked scary to me.

Rat Snake. Nonvenomous.
