Black Rat Snakes are common throughout the Eastern US. These snakes are often rather broad, and can reach up to 6 ft (72 inches) or so in length. Their habitats range from woodlands and thickets to farmlands or field edges. Previous research has shown that they may be slightly venomous, but do not pose a threat to humans.
This picture was taken over the summer. I gave this guy/girl ample space so as not to cause harm or disturbance.
