i think it was smooth scaled from my memory. It was definately solid cream to pale yellow belly, no pattern, and back from head to tail was solid brown, not light like the coachwhip above, but not dark like a hershey bar, but more like the "brown" in crayola. I have checked google images of all the 32 known TN species and 30 known kentucky species (non-venomous), and from what i can tell, it is either an odd morph of something... maybe a rat snake gone strange, or because it was very near a popular campground, a relocate or release maybe? It's head was not triangular, more diamond, but it was defined from the smaller neck, unlike my kings that have about as thick a neck as head. Also from eye to tip of nose was longer than my kings (my wife noted it's nose was "pointier".

I did snap some photos with a disposable camera which will be developed within a few days, probably good enough to give a bit more detail.

If you are familiar with the area, i found it just outside of Piney Campground.
