Two-headed Eastern Garter Snake. HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S DAY! HA! 2nd spot of this pair. Large one 18-20 inches long. Smaller more defensive and active one 12 inches long.
Open woodlands.
Video has the little snake "sniffing" me. Very cool! Over 2 minutes long. It starts flicking its tongue a lot around 1:10.

Thanks so much Lisa Powers for featuring this awesome pair and now there is another snake "partying" with them. I went from shaking, trembling, and sweating my first snake photo to now carefully and wonderfully observing this pair.
Congrats Carol! You have been featured in the Project Noah - CSC Snakes of the United States mission Snaketalk Blog!

Great Spotting!
That's generally how it goes Carol, with the female being the bigger one. But no telling for sure from your pictures, babies would be cool though!
I think the little one is the male and the big one is the female. I will confirm. I want babies. LOL
Sounds like a pair! Awesome spotting!
I am hoping these two will mate as soon as it warms up.
