I know without a picture it will probably be difficult but here goes.

I live in the extreme south eat corner of Iowa(You cross the river and you are in MO or you cross the other river and you are in IL.) Our bathroom is urrently undergoing renovations so there is no cieling just the rafters and then the underside of the roof. In the corner of the rafters there was a coil hanging. It was a deep black with small red/brown spekling on it. My husband put on gloves and grabbed the coil. We could see the side and the under part of the head moving along the rafter. The underside of the head was a clean white and the head being a shape similar to our Colombian boa but much smaller.

Anyway, as we watched this snake go along the rafters and head into the attic we realized that wasn't the snake he had a hold of(thought they looked the same from what we saw.) The one that went into the attic was at least 5' as the back wall is about 6' long. The snake he had ended up going down into the wall. Now we haven't seen then since that time but no one has been able to tell me what they were. I have heard everything from water mochosin to king snake. Any help would be appreciated.
