Storeria occipitomaculata occipitomaculata
Approximately 4" long, light orange-salmon color with dark orange-brown head.
Unclear - found on the road near houses with woods (mixed coniferous & deciduous) on either side of the road. Small stream near road. Residential area with 2 acre lots and empty lots.
I found approximately 10 of these dead on the road in a three mile span. Are they migrating? Where are they moving to or from? Why all so small? Are they young?
Wow, thanks Ashley! I think you have identified my snake. I have another snake to post tonight - maybe you can help. Thanks especially for the link. I'm learning a lot!
This time of year snakes are moving to their hibernaculums for the winter. They aren't very big snakes, the size you have here is a normal sized adult.
