Snake ID, gonna be difficult

[Lepisosteus platyrhincus]

I need a snake ID. this is gonna be difficult because i do not have a pic. yet. Im hoping to get the pic from my mom. I can describ it the best i can. 20" to 24" gray with brown octagonal spots. head from the pic is hard to discern but it is not triangular. Honostly im nearly sure its some sort of python. under teh octagonal spots thier are some small random brown spots. toung is black

If u have a guess post it with a pic of ur guess. My mom will try to get me the pic sometime today hopefully.

Might have the body in a few minutes. My mom killed it

Gonna have the body in a few minutes. thinking it might be a rat snake

Damn I hate people who stereotype animals and kill what they don't understant... so ignorant

Is it a Ratsnake, Lep?

Sounds like a ratsnake...could be a young black rat too, they don't turn solid black until they're well grown.
