Thanks for the info. I checked some sites, and this snake didn't look anything like an Eastern or a Butlers. He had no green on him at all, his body was entirely different shades of brown/cream. He actually looked a lot more like some of the color morphs of cornsnakes I've seen, but I'm not even sure you'd find normal corns wild around this area, and he did musk when picked up. I wish I had a picture, he was really quite a beautiful little snake. If he's hanging around in the backyard, maybe I'll see him again, although I kind of hope he makes himself scarce as there are a LOT of cats in the neighborhood.
BTW, you seem to know quite a bit about this area, if you happen to know, what snake species could I expect to find wild around here? I've always thought just Garters, but that was before I got interested in reptiles and it may just be a false bit of info that I've held onto. I think you could theoretically find a Massasauga rattler, but they're very rare in this area, more common away from the cities... Thanks ----- ---------
