Northern Alabama is a contact zone between two ssps. of Black Racer. To the east to central it is the Northern (Coluber c. constrictor)to the west it is (Coluber c.priapus) the Southern Racer. There is a wide area of intergradiation that runs between the two. If you can list the county I can give you a better idea of what you have.
