[QUOTE="SdoubleA, post: 2474114, member: 32961"] The snake in question is commonly called a splotched king snake. Their are three varieties of king snake within Oklahoma, the splotched (as in your pics), the speckled (black with hundreds of gold speckles ), and the scarlet (red, yellow, cream and black bands). All are non venomous, and will kill and eat other snakes as part of their diet. The venomous snakes native to the State include five species of rattlesnake, the copperhead, and the true cottonmouth water moccasin (completely different than the common water snake). You are right in being careful of any snake, especially in an urban environment due to the fact that exotic venomous snakes have been known to "show up" after either escaping or having been turned loose intentionally. Many of them appear as non venomous to people that are unfamiliar with them, and are told to look for specific shapes or colorations. [/QUOTE]
