Thamnophis sirtalis
A medium sized striped snake with variable coloration. This one is brown with 3 yellowish stripes down back and black spots between stripes making it look checkered. Length: 2 feet, (61 cm). Food: Earthworms, frogs, fish and small mammals. (Blue eye covering signifies that it is ready to shed.)
Woodlands. This snake lives right by the garage door, but not far from the woods.
Night photography/flash - Photo #4, snake hurrying back into its home under a rock and an opening in the driveway. 2nd spot of this snake. See comments of fresh shed snake 3 months ago.
