Question

Snake - what kind?


We found this baby snake while we were working in the yard...... does any one know what kind it is?

We are thinking a "Corn Snake" - yet most of the PICS we locate online do not show any solid color corn snakes.

The snake is orangish red on top and yellow on bottom - we live in Central Florida.

Thanks for the link - I have been there already and none of the pics looks like this baby snake.


The closest pic I could find that looks like the snake I have was a pic of an adult Bloodred Corn Snake.

Definitely not a corn snake. It's hard to tell from the pictures, but my guess would be one of the three subspecies of the Florida crowned snake, Tantilla relicta. They can vary a bit in color, from brown to orange on top, white to yellow on the belly, solid colors with no patterns, except they usually have a darker colored head, sometimes with a separate dark collar around the neck. They generally don't get much larger than that, and they're a good snake to have a round, they eat beetle larvae, centipedes, snails and other little garden pests.

I have thought about that snake as well - but I was only able to locate pics of CrS with black heads with a ring around its neck.


We let the little fellow go today...... He is FREE!
