Donnelly Wildlife Management Area Snakes
On our Herpetology field trip to Donnelly Wildlife Management Area, we found two snakes! The first was an old mud snake, Farancia abacur. It was black on top and had a beautiful red belly. The next snake whipped under a dead log, and our TA Tyler, caught it. It was a black racer, Coluber constrictor. It was thin, black all around, and being very fast, we were able to determine it was Coluber constrictor.

Thanks for posting the photos and the info. My 15 yr old son found a Mud Snake today and had the whole neighborhood gawking at it. Very beautiful, but all the girls (and a few of the guys) were scared of it. Neighbor finally took and tried to feed it to his giant turtle who refused it.
