Laying on my stomach and the snake crawled up to the lens.

My snake knowledge is near zero. Do you know what type that is?

That snake is actually a college mascot. Under the NCAA NIL rule (name, image, likeness), you now owe it money.

How could anyone be afraid of such a cute, curious guy like that? I have no idea what kind he is (maybe a corn snake?), but those big round eyes tell you he's harmless.
All of the wildlife around here is pretty fearless. I attribute it to the bubble. Even when walking my dog, the squirrels practically come up to investigate sometimes, like they think I've got something to eat.
And one time I had a black snake actually chase me. I was holding the lanai door open for my dog, and there was a sudden commotion in the bushes, and a bunch of birds flew out. A couple of seconds later, this big black snake slithered out, looking all cocky. He turned his head and saw me, and instead of running away, he ran TOWARD me! I was so surprised, I jumped back and slammed the door in his face. Weird!

No such thing as a “friendly “ snake, no matter how cute you think they look

Maybe a black racer. There are no friendly nor unfriendly snakes. There are good snakes that eat bad things like rats and mice. Otherwise, if you leave them alone they will leave you alone.

Glad to hear you got away. Probably a non poisonous. Glad you didn’t find out! Good shot.
