Hi!
I spotted a snake in a small flowing creek behind my house in South Tuscaloosa, Alabama today (West Central Alabama). It was next to the creek bank and then in some thin brush at the base of a Riverbirch tree. The snake was approximately 3 feet in length, tan and black stripes about 1-2 inches in width. I was unable to see the head of the snake. Because I am trying to become more educated about snakes to hopefully decrease my huge fear and to better protect my toddler, I am hoping that someone could help me identify this particulat snake that is living in my back yard.
Also, is it true that snakes shy away from lawns that are regularly treated with pesticides - RoundUp in flower beds, etc?
thanks so much for any help that you can offer.
