Storeria dekayi
This is a small (11") non-venomous Colubrid snake that had light gray stripes on a light brown background. There were small black dots on each side of the center (dorsal) gray stripe. The venter is also light colored and has a black dot at the ends of the ventral scales.
This snake was found on a sidewalk in Eastern Omaha (300 masl).
This little guy was found on the sidewalk long after he should have been hibernating. It was getting down into the low 40's at night. It was a nice suprise to encounter on my morning walk. Any day I find a snake is a good day!
