What is this Snake?

Don't kill snakes! Also, be careful when taking photos of them and don't put yourself in danger when doing so.

Rules:

  1. Include location in posts.
  2. Don't be a jerk.

Aesculapian snake, I would assume.

Probably correct, how do you know it's definitely not a Smooth Snake? Coronella austriaca. I wasn't sure if it was one or the other.

I'm definitely not a snake expert. It just looks longer and more like an Aesculapian snake to me.

Same, no expert. If it's over 3 feet then it probably is Aesculapian. Hard to get a sense of size reference from the photo but I'd say it's on the longer side.
