I guess that was what it was, a black rat snake. My farm was bounded on the east by a big cornfield with a creek bordering some of that, and a swamp at the north end of my farm. One time in the summer I was walking the outskirts of this corn field hoping to bag a pheasant and came upon a strange scene I will always cherish; several dozen big black snakes where all poised at the edge of the corn field with their heads quite high up looking all in the same direction into the corn, like soldiers preparing an advance. Oh, for a camera!
I didn't keep snakes then (35 years ago), but have always liked them, and never killed any that were on my property.
