What My Neighbor Brought To Me (Pics)

Apparently I'm now the local snake man. lol Anyways, this one has me stumped. I say either a Crown snake or a some kind of ring neck I've never seen. Anybody know?

:O I have no idea what it is, but I just had to say it is so cute! Lol

I'm in no way shape or form good with these but from what I've seen the markings behind the head look like crown snake to me.

Looks like Storeria dekayi wrightorum, but I'm not sure. I know it's a Storeria dekayi though, just not sure on the subspecies.

Thanks for the link! Yeah it's a Florida Brown snake (storeria victa), which is wierd since this is the first I've seen them here.

I pull them out of my neighbors pool regularly here in Atlanta. Very cool, great mannered snakes. Even my daughter will hold them. The thing that crack me up is how they use the head to crawl more than any snake i've seen...the dig there nose in a haul up...

One of my favorite snakes, believe it or not. My very first pet snake. They love earthworms!

Cute little bugger, sounds easy to feed too!:P

I had a litter of these once. The babies are TINY, or should I say tiny. :P

Cool snakes to find when non snake people are around cause they never bite.

What a cute little guy! I love those odd white markings on his head. :)

Heck yeah, there is a part in my yard where you can scoop earthworms up by the hand full (without even digging) during the summer.

One of the strangest things I've noticed lately is that all the non-snake peeps are finding the cool stuff. :/ Well, atleast they're bringing them to me now. :D I bet people probably mistake the babies for worms. :P

That is the best part about living in a rural area, you get to find all sorts of cool stuff. My neighbor found an old 6 ft. rattler, my Dad has the odd luck of constantly finding Indigos (big ones too.) The most common snake around here though are adult yellow rat snakes.

I have a few spots I go to every now & then to catch these. There usually very secretive hiding underground but I catch em all the time under rocks & wood.
