Title: can you guess what kind of snake
Post by: iowabow on August 31, 2011, 11:17:04 pm
I have no idea what kind of snake this is.   This baby snake was on the driveway this evening.

Looks like Brown Snake to me.
The book calls it a "Texas Brown Snake".
It has been hotter and drier than Hades down here maybe he caught a fast horse headed north...  ;)

Don't know what kind of snake it is, but it looks perfect sized for one of Zander's pens.  Even baby snakes are in danger around my place.  And I like snakes.... >:D

Gus called it.  Brown snake.

Yup, that's my call too.  I've actually had one of those flatten it's head on me and mimic a rattlesnake.
