Hadn't seen any for at least 20 years, and I am an avid snake catcher. Adults only get to be about 10 inches. Really cool snakes. Ron Scheller

That's great that you took the time to share your pictures with us. They almost look like a man made artificial snake when you look at their coloring. Their distinctly smaller head to body ratio is a noted feature of that specie. www.jamesonsultrablend.com www.wildlifepestcontrolservices.com

I also used to catch some of those little green "Grass Snakes" but I have not seen either kind here for at least 50 years. Then again I am not looking under old boards and tipping over things in old junk yards any more either. Pretty cool little reptiles....thanks for the share! I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

Guess its partially due to the fact that I'm not out there looking for them like we did as kids with all day to scavenge through the underbrush in search of anything that moved. We did catch similar Ringnecks and DeKay's snakes. Just about everything in our state is now protected, as it should be. Always hate to hear about killing snakes on sight just because they don't like them or are afraid. http://www.comstockcustomcage.com/ https://www.facebook.com/pages/Comstock-Custom-Cage-LLC/343556115744235

I haven’t seen a single eastern coachwhip for more than ten years! We do still seem to have a good population of eastern diamondback rattlesnakes, timber rattlesnakes, copperheads, and cottonmouths though. Gray ratsnakes are plentiful too. Below are a couple of uncommon critters I caught in my yard last year. I hadn’t seen either of these for a few years. Green Snake- good camouflage Legless Lizard (Glass Snake) Note to self- Engage brain before opening mouth (or hitting the ENTER key/SUBMIT button). Ron Fry
