Storeria dekayi
Very small snake (baby?). Found hiding in a tarp.
Backyard Knoxville, Tn.
I see this is also your first spotting on Project Noah. I am pleased to see you are starting out right :-)
Welcome aboard!
This appears to be an adult snake and not a baby. They do not get very big (under 13 inches) and prey upon slugs, snails and earthworms.
Thanks for adding this to the Tennessee Snakes, Turtles and Lizards mission. Be sure to also add it to the Snakes of the United States -
Center for Snake Conservation mission.
