I live in PA...not really common for unusual snakes!
I did not see the head, but the body was a SHINY, very shiny, deep bronze color. It had diamond type designs all on back, I believe the diamonds were outlined in black. Very shiny & distinct colors. It was about the size in diameter of a square in a standard chain link fence (if that makes sense?) ....that's what it crawled into, an overgrown old dog kennel. It really happened so fast, before it dissappeared into the brush, but I did get a close look at it.
If I wasn't so afraid of snakes, I'd say it was gorgeous. But I'm concerned because I have dogs in neighboring kennels, plus I'm back there feeding & cleaning daily. On one hand, I'm thinking it will take care of any rodents that sometimes are attracted to dog food, but need to know if this snake is dangerous to me, my kids, or the dogs (large breed).
By my inexperienced description, if anyone can help, please either post or email me. THANKS!
