Coral snake

Micrurus nigrocinctus

Description:

approx. 12 inches long

Habitat:

spotted on porch of mountain home

Notes:

I was up late searching for moths under the porch lights when I stepped on this snake in my stocking feet. This was the only pic I got because I believe we were equally startled by the encounter.
