Help Identify!!
I had to make a house call tonight to get this little bugger......its just a baby about 10inches and I know its either a Milk Snake or a Rat Snake
as adults of both have been seen in the area, but this one was in my cousin's house......

Re: Help Identify!!
Yeh, I'd have to agree with Ben, looks like an Eastern milksnake (L.t.triangulatum)

Re: Help Identify!!
The tail-shaking is a normal behaviour in many Lampropeltis species.
If the snakes lays in dry leaves it sound like a rattler.

Re: Help Identify!!
I remember the first time I saw the behaviour of the tail shaking... it scared the **** out of me... didn't expect it at all
 But it's quite funny behaviour  |
