Could be an Eastern Milk Snake.

"The eastern milk snake has a mottled grey, brown, and reddish body. This 
non-venomous snake is often confused for a rattlesnake, but it lacks the 
rattle, keeled scales, and cat-like pupils. It's found in fields, woodlands, 
rocky hillsides, and wetland edges, and primarily eats small mammals."

Found this guy sunning himself in my lawn this afternoon and need help 
identifying it. ( It takes a few seconds for it to come into view in the 
picture I got.)

I’ve done just the briefest bit of research and it looks like a Timber snake to 
me. I hope I’m wrong because they are highly venomous. I believe it’s living in 
a hollowed out tree trunk.

I’d also like suggestions about whom to call to do a catch and release if it 
comes to that.

Any help will be much appreciated!

Deborah
