Re: Snake ID help
Picassa does not allow links.
I attached a copy of your picture for you.

Re: Snake ID help
This is the url
https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/phot...eat=directlink
Not being snarky, but this has worked for me on several other forums.

Re: Snake ID help
Looks like maybe a Pine Woods Snake (Rhadinaea flavilata). How large is it? The Pine Woods Snake only gets to 12" long. Hard to tell from that pic though...

Re: Snake ID help
It does look like both of those. Every one I've seen (a dozen or so) has been slithering through my bermuda. This thing is tiny, maybe 6 inches and I've yet to see one bigger. I had searched quite a bit for a similar image and the closest I'd found before is in the link below (2nd image). The poster claims it is a baby copperhead, which are very common around here. Any chance of that?
Can't seem to get any url to work here, so cut and paste

Re: Snake ID help
The last two are Dekay's brown snakes. My guess for the first pic is an earth snake (Virginia sp).
I suggest getting a copy of Robert Mount's The Reptiles & Amphibians of Alabama. Has a nice dichotomous key with it!

Re: Snake ID help
Thanks, that book is on the way.
Baby #2 above looks entirely different to me (sorry my father-in-law removed it's head before I arrived). If they vary that much, this will be tough going.

Re: Snake ID help
I thought that snake looked headless.
I hope you attempt to educate the man, Storeria dekayi are the worlds most gentle, most harmless snake.
I shipped four of them to a kindergarten teacher once for classroom "pets" because they don't even strike when the little tots tap on the glass.

Re: Snake ID help
He's over 70 and everyone he grew up with believes 'the only good snake is a dead one'. I have mentioned that I don't kill them and feel that is all I should say, but I hear you.
