Black Racers aren't uncommon in this area. They're a fairly good sized snake, 40 to 60 inches is normal for an adult. They're not typically aggressive unless cornered, and they go like you wouldn't believe if you spook them and they feel like running. As you describe Salty, most that I've seen have been near rocks on which the snake was sunning itself.

The other good sized snake in the area is a water snake. I forget if it's a water moc, but it is sometimes aggressive and it's also a good sized animal. It's not poisonous, but it's a scary looking snake. Big, fat, and generally it has a bad attitude.
