Pray tell, what kind of giant biblically proportioned serpent is this lurking in my back yard tormenting my dogs.......

Looks like a rat snake.

Looks like a non venomous Rat snake, to me.

The dark phase of the gray rat.

I have a picture of the same (sized) snake from 2 years ago - coming out of a mole/vole tunnel opening -

I wonder if they stay around that long or if there may be multiples.

The trick will be to prevent my Mini Aussie from trying to kill old daddy no-shoulders.....

I did witness it striking aggressively at my older and less agile Springer Spaniel but the dogs had ruled it up.
