That would be a black rat snake if it was anywhere near seven feet.
Black racers do not do well in captivity. Whereas a king snake or rat snake might live 20 years in captivity - much longer than in the wild - a black racer will live two years or less in captivity. They will often cover two MILES in one day in the wild.
I caught one last year that was basking in the middle of a lightly traveled road. I was bitten twice. I took it home to show someone but let it go in the yard. A beautiful snake.
If you love something let it go.
