Description: English: Black Rat Snake - Elaphe obsoleta obsoleta, Julie Metz Wetlands, Woodbridge, Virginia. This snake is also known by Latin name Pantherophis obsoletus. I'm not sure which one herpetologists prefer. This is one of the rare cases where the Latin name is more confusing than the common name. Date: 15 March 2016, 15:47:07.
