It was about 20 inches. I can't seem to find a picture to match.

It almost looks like a coachwhip snake just not fully grown.

Thanks for the confirmation. He got caught in some netting. I had to cut him out. I hope he makes it.

Scale pattern on tail gives it away (looks like a braided whip).
Thanks for rescuing it.
Good snake.

Is this snake sometimes called a prairie racer?

Agree with the others that is is a young coachwhip. The one's I've caught have been aggressive biters.

Saw about a 5' at the ranch Monday. They're fast as a scalded dog.
