Nice snake. I saw a huge King snake crossing my road. I have asked the neighbors not to kill the King snakes, but they have chickens, so I guess they will continue kill all snakes. I killed the big garter snake that swallowed two of my neighbors fresh eggs, but had it not been for that, and that he was already wounded, I would have let him go. Black racers are rare in some parts. I'm glad you could catch it and release it in a good place.
