My friend lives in Arkansas and has a 4 foot black snake "sleeping" in her ditch, she wants to know what it could be. Any thoughts?

Probably a texas rat snake, identify it yourself by doing some research though if you cant provide a picture.

I would actually go with black rat, depending on what part of AR the snake was found. But yes, with a picture it would be fairly easy to determine.

She has no way of sending a pic. She says its back is solid black and about 4 feet long. She is terrified of snakes, but the city is going to put a colvert in the ditch, and she wants to move the snake.

Best advise I can give is that if she doesn't know what it is then she should leave it alone.

Although it almost certainly a harmless native snake, it's not outside the realm of possibility that it could be an escape, or an aberrant venomous specimen.
