It is pretty easy with these small shy snakes. They are arborial and I often come eye to eye with them. This is the smaller of the two that seem to live in my garden. this is the first sighting this spring, so I am looking for the larger one when I am in the garden. :)
Whoa! How'd ya take a pic of that?!
