Very small snake species. Spotted under a piece of pine bark in an upland forest in Horseshoe Bend National Military Park, Alabama.
Red-bellied snakes are most abundant in deciduous and mixed woodlands. They generally like a damp, moist, and cool environment.

I have always found them to be very tame and cooperative snakes. They usually just calm down when handled, but they disappear as soon as they are set free!
I saw the thumbnail of this and I thought this must be marylou! Are these snakes pretty tame? Don't mind being handled?
