I stumbled upon this Southern Black Racer while peacefully walking a nature trail.

It was about 3 feet long and quite thick for a Black Racer.

I patiently spent time watching it while staying a healthy distance away to be safe. They are very fast - hence the name "racer".

It's scales were absolutely beautiful.

My patience paid off as it started to yawn - I excitedly snapped as many pictures as I could!
