Carphophis amoenus amoenus
Small snakes, only growing up to 15 inches long. Their color can vary from pinkish-brown to dark-brown. They closely resemble earthworms, which is how they get their name. This snake also has a sharp tip on its tail, though it is not dangerous. The tip is used to help the snake dig.
Spotted under a cover board in an upland forest. This species is secretive and occurs in forested and wooded habitats where the soil allows burrowing.
