Black racer
I found this black racer sunning himself on a pile of old lawn debris. It was a somewhat cool day so cold-blooded animals like this snake need all the sun they can get. Black racers like this one are a very common nonvenomous snake in this part of Florida.

Yes, black racers are non-venomous snakes. But still, the fact that it swallows its prey alive, makes me want to like black mambas more. floridasnakes.net
