black snake
Ebony-scaled slitherer
Black snake refers to several species of non-venomous snakes with dark coloring, particularly the North American racer and rat snake.
A black snake is also a long, heavy whip made of braided leather, used historically for driving cattle or, grimly, for punishment: The overseer cracked his black snake.
