We have a Black racer that lives in our yard. Actually, truth be told, I think we have two or three. This one is the biggest one that I know of at about 3-4 feet long. He loves to sun himself in the palmetto up by the pond and on the rocks around the waterfall of my pond. These fellows have scared the daylights out of me more than once! I was nose-to-nose with one when I was trying to put a tarp over my chimney when it sprung a leak during a tropical depression. I almost fell off the ladder! I know they aren't poisonous, but I just wish they would stay a little further away than 12 inches.
