Virginia striatula
The snake is small, approximately 7 inches long. The color is brown with no pattern. It has lightly keeled scales (which gives it its common name), and a light colored underside. The snake was inside of our residence and we used the bucket to return it to the backyard environment.
The snakes lives in the natural leaf litter which is used to mulch the plants and scrubs in the landscaping. The snake is an integral part to our eco-friendly backyard. It balances the insect population. The habitat is in the second picture.
