Found this snake on my back patio. Anyone know what kind it is? I'm in Alabama if that helps.

It fits the visual description of several Alabama snakes. It looks similar to a diamondback, a prairie kingsnake or a northern pine snake. You can see all three and several others here:List of snakes in Alabama - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

They can be relocated easily at this young age, but some black rat snakes instinctively mimic rattle snakes by coiling up and shaking their (non-rattling) tails when threatened, which can be rather scary when you try to capture them for relocation.

They can also mimic dogs. Don't let its barking fool you.

"Did you know that more people are murdered at 92 degrees Fahrenheit than any other temperature? I read an article once. Lower temperatures, people are easy-going, over 92 and it's too hot to move, but just 92, people get irritable."

Your basic non-poisonous constrictor rodent-eating snake (Rat, Pine, Bull, Corn, King, whatever... ). He's probably enjoying a mouse problem you may not even know you have. This guy is your friend.It's the triangular headed snakes you've got to worry about-

Oh I know we have some mice running around. We had a few in the garage a few months ago but haven't seen any in awhile. That's exactly why i let this little guy go when the wife say "kill it."
