u/Downside_Up_

Body was approximately pinky finger width, length unclear because most of the body is hidden. Behaviorally mostly just wanted to be left alone (duh), wasn't aggressive in any way.

I'm aware the eye and blue shine are indicators it may be about to shed. Body was pretty solidly brown. I'm familiar with DeKay's Brown snakes in the area but couldn't see any of the patterns on this one. My best guess is an Earth Snake of some sort, but I have very little confidence in that.

Black tongue and pinkish-whitish mouth interior.
