Hey everyone,

I need a little help identifying the snake I found today. Here are some of his features:



6 inches long, but has a very tiny body

Head is dark brownish gray, and the rest of its body is a lighter brownish gray color

2 pinkish red stripes which come together at the end of the tail, making a red tail

Almost "sharp" pointed tail

Scales are very smooth

The snake was found here in Northern California. I plan on adding this guy to my "collection" of reptiles, so any care details would be appreciated.



Thanks,

Andrew
