I see what you mean about the eastern hog snake ..yikes
but really not what it looked like .
this snake was thinner maybe a juvenile but some where aroud 6'
It stood up 13-15" and so easily and moves quickly easily ,like in a straight line .
I think my clorine got it away from me .
One king cobra pic looked kind of close and some are tan
I thought i read where only they have green /blue reflective eyes .
one other reason i think it may be a dangerous snake or snakes
Ah ..the Bros down the street deal in illegal drugs
many use a vacant house -of which there are many to stash the drugs
and because they have loads of cash but cannot spend it freely they tend to buy $$$$ exotic animals ,some of them designed to protect the drugs
