This snake is easily identified by the yellow to orange ring around its neck, hence its common name. The back is a gray to black color, and the belly is usually yellow, leading into a red-orange color toward the tail. Most belly scales have black spots on them. Its scales are smooth and the anal plate is divided. Adults 10 - 14 inches (25 - 36 cm)
Moist areas under rocks, logs, and other debris. They are found in a variety of habitats, such as rocky hillsides, open woods, and treeless prairies.
