Thanks for the suggestion, but rat snakes are extremely rare in Vermont and are only found on the opposite side of the state (according to Middlebury College's herpetology dept). I can say with almost 100% certainty it is not a snake (one of the many wonderful things about living in VT, only rarely do you encounter anything other than a gartersnake

).
