You didn't say where the snake was found. That would be useful. ;)

Lampropeltis triangulum triangulum.

Milk snake as stated by Stefan.
Use vegetable oil to get the snake off. Poor it along the snake and use your fingernail to scape the snake loose.
Using enough oil will keep the snake from being trapped again as you get it off.
It's a slow process but you should be able to get the poor thing off.

Poor baby... it's totally harmless if you haven't figured that out already.

Probably should have mentioned, I keep this species as captives. They are harmless and perform essential rodent control.

If you keep him you should name him Oscar. Just a suggestion. I hope hes ok though. Good luck . Hes pretty.

Pretty one too. I used some kinda oil to get one off one time... just do it carefully and slowly, don't pull him off hard. (obviously)

Any word on this guy? Were you able to free it? Did you keep it?

I saw a YouTube vide about releasing milk from a sticky pad. The guy used Pam.

I wonder how this turned out?:confused:

He came off and was released into the wild. Glad he wasn't dangerous. Corn Snake? Or?

It's a Milk snake.
Glad to hear the good outcome.
How'd you get it off?

There's only a few dangerous snakes in the US.

Probably very few in your state...

What's easier then learning all the species in the US, learn all the VENEMOUS (dangerous) species in the US. you'll be able to identify what it ISN'T, instead of what it is.

"what's this snake? Well it's not a, blah blah blah blah, so it isn't dangerous"...:)

Impeachable.. thanks.... I think...

For example. There are 37 or so snakes in NC, only 6 are dangerous. (venemous). And then of course, those are only in certain areas, so my area is only TWO dangerous snakes, plus one that's only I'm swamps. I know them so whatever I find, even if I don't know what it is (not likely) I know it's not one of them.

Here ya go. Learn the ones in your state, you'll thank me later.
