I wondered if this Bull Snake (Pituophis catenifer) had recently shed its skin. It looked bright.
Some say the Bull Snake is called a Bull Snake because of the ridge between the eyes. This maybe the best look I have had of that feature.
Turn the sound up. It had finally had enough of me.

Sedge (Carex)
Partridge Pea (Chamaecrista fasciculata)
Wavy-leaf Gaura (Gaura sinuata)
Don't the rat snakes also do that rattling mimic? That was neat! And I expect you to get that sedge keyed to the species 🙂
