Ok, I need a little help with this one, I am pretty sure it's Lampropeltis getula nigra, but I'm really not sure. The first three pics are the one I'm talking about...

It was found in a barn in Nashville TN, so it's either eastern or black.. (could it also be something exotic? it looks sorta like a spilotes?)

I agree with Thomas.....

It should lose a little of the yellow as it matures.
