Can anyone ID this snake?
I just pulled it from someones basement, not sure if it is an escaped pet or a snake native to Here, south west Ontario.
About a foot long, pinky size in diameter. Didn't strike when I grabbed it, but wound around me pretty darn quick.
Thanks!

Re: Can anyone ID this snake?
Looks like what is called a "corn snake" to me. Not aggressive & is beneficial in the control of rodents.
Re: Can anyone ID this snake?
I agree it's a corn snake but not common in southern Ont
Re: Can anyone ID this snake?
Could be, some variations of both the corn & milk snake are very similar in appearance according to google images; the corn snake is a constrictor...is the milk snake?bstout wrote:Looks like an eastern milk snake too me.

Looks like a corn snake or a close relative. Some people keep them as pets. That's probably why it didn't strike at you, instead gave you a big hug.
Take good care of it.

Re: Can anyone ID this snake?
I agree with Eastern Milk Snake. I would expect a Corn Snake to be a bit larger in diameter.

Looks like a baby corn snake or dark phase milk snake.I have 2 milk snakes and 4 corns snakes but all are color morphs so I cant really compare to that one.
Re: Can anyone ID this snake?
You mean that banded one or the big silvery one right next to it?????

Lucky you! We have coral snakes here but many more like your pic.

Makes me chuckle, I recently followed a corn snakes progress off my deck w/ S&W .357 w/ rat shot while the kid looked it up on the puter. I keep 3 chambers w/ the real deal and 3 for snakes. Highly recommend CCI .357 rat shot!
The snake was lucky he was faster than it was, lol. I hate the damn things w/ a passion, but let the non venomous live.

Re: Can anyone ID this snake?
That is definately a milk snake Pyd. We don't have wild corn snakes living in Ontario.
I've caught many milk snakes in these areas. They are harmless, but often vibrate their tail(suggesting a rattlesnake). They are one of my favourite snakes.

You can take the man out of the woods but you can't take the woods out of the man.
