Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis
Common colubrid snake of the east coast. Nonvenomous and adorable :]
"Found in nearly all habitats from open talus slides, cultivated fields, open canopy deciduous and coniferous forest, swamps, marshes, and bogs to dry upland hillsides and/or human habitats. They are most often found around quarries, trash dumps, banks of ditches, canals, streams, rivers, ponds, or vacant lots, and may be found under logs, rocks, boards and other debris." -- http://www.paherps.com/herps/snakes/gart...
Found this little guy hanging out in a fire pit near a lake, he was basking on the rocks.
