I will add it to the snakes of the us. Also I have seen these before and I loved this ones color. I saw this snake on a bike ride in a cul de sac in lufkin Texas.

Keith, I have seen several in east Texas that look like this, I don't think it is very uncommon.

Nice first spotting on Noah, Jennifer - welcome to the Project! Could you tell us something about where you spotted this snake?
