Round these parts a blacksnake is a common namer fer a black racer. they get up ta 7-8 feet in lenth, are non-poisinous, are a constrictor whick means the will wrap round yer leg if'n ya step on one. They like ta bite, they have a bad temper, they like ta hang around farm buildings and their real wussys when ya give em a load a #9 shot.
