ID Please! Yorkville, IL Find!

Found this guy out at Silver Springs State Park (Yorkville) hanging over a lake on a branch. I can't ID it, but it looks like a Queen Snake or a Graham's Crawfish Snake. What do you think? I released it right after I snapped the pics!

I think it is a queens snake (Regina septemvittata)

I don't think Regina grahamii (or something like that.. ) has the brown stripes underneath like the queens do

Thanks...queen snakes haven't been documented in Kendall County since before 1980, so it is certainly a nice find!

Yup. Absolutely a queen snake... and to me those are fun to find even in places where they are as common as muck.

It is a Queen Snake. They are commonly found near Boas (the pink feather variety) and Cher albums
