Anyone have an ID on this young one? Lots of wiggles.

I'm always stumped by young snakes. I do know it's not a viper. It could be a rat snake.

That one needs to see a chiropractor.

It is a Black Rat Snake

They wiggle like that because thats how they climb trees by getting their scutes (belley scales) caught in the bark and inching their way up.

I figured it was because of the look. It is the same as the one Jes and I found.
