near water but also in brush, trash piles, roadsides, swamps
someone tried to kill it thinking it was dangerous. We saved it by hiding it under a cover of a pile of rocks. Sure it was alive when we left it.
I'm glad you saved it too! People can be so stupid when it comes to snakes. They're amazing animals, and the way they move is mesmerizing.
Looks like a western yellow-bellied racer to me... nonvenomous and harmless. What a shame that someone tried to kill it!
