Identifying anything based on just a description is tricky (and often dangerous.) Knowing what part of Alabama you live in would help, too. (I live in Alabama too, and there can be a lot of geographic variation.)

I'm going to GUESS Rat Snake. But that's a GUESS, not an ID! Without a picture, there won't be a positive ID.

To post a pic, it needs to be uploaded to the internet. You can do that a lot of ways, but the easiest is probably to upload it to this very site; check out the link for more details.
