Look what I caught!!

The other night I was just standing on the patio when all of a sudden I looked over and saw this little black line sliding under the bike, so I began to chase it and when i finally caught it by the
tail, look what it turned out to be!





I think it's a young black rat snake . He was a feisty little booger! He kept striking and did bite me when I tried to grab him to let him go. It hurt a little, but not as much as I thought it would. I wish I could have kept him!
