Thamnophis sirtalis
Male 12 inches long. Non-venomous. A friendly sort.
Open woodlands near brook.
5th or 6th encounter. Seemed very unafraid of me and very curious. Originally saw with female larger snake and then a 2nd male. Saw only by itself today. Check out the video. (No repeat photos. Lots of tongue today.)

Wow very cool spot great series Carol :)
Wow!
Cool! It's adorable.
I have a question for snake lovers since I am new "at snakes". This snake and I may have encountered each other more than 20 times before winter and then again for 6 times recently. It seemed especially excited to see me and moved in closer and closer flicking its tongue vigorously. It didn't seem aggressive. I am just hoping it wanted me to pet it. HA! LOL! Thanks!
Great series !!
