It identifies as a chicken snake.

This image has been making the rounds on social media this week. It's a timber rattlesnake, Crotalus horridus, with an aberrant pattern.
Hunting outside the box
Until now, if I saw a snake in SC that was not obviously a cotton mouth, rattler, Copperhead, or Coral…I’d quickly move to grab it. This just caused a significant protocol overhaul.

Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.
I’ve seen just the back of snakes in the leaves before and will often grab em before they have a chance to get gone. Just the coloration looks like an obese, gravid garter that just ate a cottonmouth. I probably woulda not grabbed that fat SOB, but had it been a baby version, I could see grabbing it thinking it was a garter.

If you grabbed a timber rattler like that, it't probably just look at you.

Perfect example of how 99.99999 percent of people who get bit by a poisonous snake were fking with said poisonous snake.
