So, I was in the Smokies and saw this guy sitting in a tree. Any ideas as to what he is?

Black snake. It's good luck to see one.

but not good luck if it falls out of the tree on top of you and you wet yourself and break a leg running and fall into the brush and cut yourself all up.

I'd say it's a big ol' snake in the tree

I would say that it was a pretty content snake after eating lunch.

If you're in the south somewhere, It's a black snake. They are alot of fun when you're fly fishing and land yer fly on same log as a bunch of 'em are sunning on. Lucky snake catches the fly.....

Maybe a version of the Black Racer? The white under it's belly looks like our Northern Black Racer, found two in the tractor shed.

Try doing a google search for Black Rat Snake. Pretty sure that's what it is, also non venomous. The black snake everyone is talking about, I believe is the southern version of the Kingsnake which does eat venomous snakes. The snake in the picture, however is a Black Rat Snake.
