That would be a black kingsnake (lampropeltis getula nigra), speckled kings occur in cenral-southwest Alabama. Hope this helps you out.

Hey im from North Alabama, Dekalb, what county was that snake found in,,.. looks to be around my area !.
Thanks for the ID cousinmike. I'm in Huntsville/Madison, Snake Master.
Cool, I love herping Madison county, will you email me? thanks.
That looks alot like the speckled kings I've found in TN, in the southern parts of the state. I suppose it could be an intergrade with the black king (which I believe occurs farther north). The nigrita I've found around Nashville have aberrancy in pattern, but not dots like the one pictured. Just an observation/opinion based on my experience.
rgds,
althea
