Those are some nice looking pines! To me, they still look like straight Northern Pines. The checkering on the belly is interesting. Similarly, pines from the prairie region of South Central Florida have checkered bellies, where as the pines from the rest of the state are plain bellied.
A lot of people in Florida and Georgia will call their local Pituophis "Bull Snakes". Well, the ones that don't call them "rattlesnakes" anyway. I've also heard "Gopher Snakes" for Florida pines. In NC it seems the locals know to call them "Pine Snakes".
