Had a helper in my work shed today

There's a mature black snake where I work that appears every now and then. I walked over him once thinking he was a piece of weatherstripping that had come loose from the bottom of an exterior door, made me jump when he moved. I've seen him going straight up a tree gripping the bark with his belly; fine creature he is.
