Need help identifying a snake

External Since: May 13, 2007 Posts: 1

I was just in my backyard and saw a snake i dont think i have seen
before in Gerogia. It was about 2.5 feet and black. It has yellow-
ish bands (very thin.. one scale) about an inch apart down the length
of the back from the head to tail. The head was small.

Any ideas?

I'd guess a kingsnake, but would need a picture to be sure.
