There are no white snakes native to the united states, besides albino or amelanistic specimens, which are more yellow in color anyways.

I suggest your friend has found an albino specimen of a local snake species.

That was my first thought also... but she said it had one big black spot... I am confused and just trying to think what it might be... I wish she would have gotten a better look at the head... would help alot. Thanks for the input though.
