Baby water snakes (Nerodia spp.) and racers have similar patterns. They all darken with age.Came across this little guy and thought it looked exotic. My snake expert brother-in-law said it was just a baby Black Ratsnake (aka Central or Midland Ratsnake). They are pure black as adults and get quite a bit bigger.
