then again probably not.....

Rhadinea flavilata. Originally, it was called the yellow-lipped snake, for obvious reasons. Later, the common name was changed to pine woods snake. A fairly common fossorial snake of the southeastern U.S., it is one of the preferred prey items of the eastern coral snake.

Looks very similar to my Florida Redbelly

pine woods snake,aka yellow lipped snake,like the first guy said

If we're talking US, Rhadinea flavilineata is the only real possibility. Open it up wider, and a lot more stuff pops in; i.e., if we were talking commonly seen or commercially available snakes regardless of locality, the best bet given this picture would be Lamprophis fuliginosus...

I have kept numerous examples of both species and I just had a litte of red phase House Snakes which are as close as you can get here. No way that is a House Snake. Greg called it correctly.

Is that a new one Cole?

I had one for close to a year. Then it went into a shed and I missed it. Died.
