>>I agree with the previous replies - you've got a fox snake. You mention finding it a home, which I assume means in captivity. Be aware of the laws in your state concerning native species (which the fox snake is in your state), as it may be illegal to possess that animal. Just a heads-up.

Thanks for the heads up Cole, and I did check that already. They are listed as common in the state so their is no restriction on keeping them in captivity. I do try to get natives into educational homes for that reason however. I do a lot of educational events, and the biggest misconception by the public in WI is that it is too cold to have native herps, let alone venomous snakes. People usually have a look of shock when I talk briefly about our native rattlers.
