Please look at this! Is it a rat snake???

Posted by Charley Brooks on October 02, 2000 at 14:09:33:

I rescued a small snake from inside the local post office here in
Bishop, Georgia.
Closest thing I have found is a gray rat snake, but the marking vary
somewhat from the pictures I have seen in books. The snake has
round eyes and round pupils. The head is somewhat triangular
especially when he is alarmed as in the pic I have posted.
Please take a look at: http://www.geocities.com/kunky45/snake1.JPG
He puffs his head up and strikes when he or she is alarmed.
Otherwise the head is not so prominent when he is traveling
along the ground.

Thanks for any help offered.
