Jim named his Twiggy

[gotrocks]

I should have name this one Figgy.
My wife was picking figs and I walked up to her left side to help.
After pulling a couple of limbs down so she could reach a few figs,
I looked over to her right and this is what I saw.
Since she does not really enjoy the presence of these kind of critters,
I told her to step back before pointing out our visitor.
I picked it up and took it to the back of the yard and told it to stay in the Deep woods.
I don't think it liked that because all the response I got was sticking out the tongue.

Google "rock python". Lots of info about a literal epidemic, particularly in Florida, of people dumping burmese and rock pythons when they realize they don't stop growing at 6'....or 8'.....or more. The markings just don't look quite right to me for a rat snake.

My money is on rat snake. There are so many varieties with slight differences in coloration and how closely the blotches are on their backs. That snake looks confused. It's so long it doesn't know whether it's coming or going. Since they don't eat figs, I'm thinking it was in the fig tree lookin' for a bird's nest to rob.

Is it me or is there two of them in that picture? Looks like they might have been in the middle of something.

Look like grey rat snakes to me. http://www.uga.edu/srelherp/snakes/elaobs.htm
