Snake ID please

Saw this snake on the road today at my deer lease south of Sweetwater, never seen one like this, what is it?

Bull snake, extremely rare pattern however being that it looks like two different snakes.
Possible hybrid but bull snakes have many patterns.

Agree with bull snake. I always get them and gopher snakes confused, but I believe the gophers are out west. (I think the same family though)

Yes, this is a bull snake a/k/a gopher snake. Non-venomous but can get quite large. On a field trip back in grad school, we caught one of these out near Ballinger. It was a youth at the time (maybe 2ft long), and the students decided to call it "Maximus" after the movie "Gladiator," which had recently come out. By the time I finished school, it was about 4 ft long and still not fully grown...

That’s a really interesting snake!

Thanks for posting the pics!

Thanks for the answers, I have never seen before, and now I know what it is!

What part south of Sweetwater... i hunt the Maryneal area.

We hunt just east of Maryneal, in fact the railroad tracks from the cement plant run through our lease.

I agree I'd say its a Bull Snake: https://www.inaturalist.org/guide_taxa/840583
