my father was doing some much needed yard work, in birmingham alabama, when he come across a baby snake. he thinks maybe possibly a newborn,
he said it was brown and abt the size of a worm, the brown was a light biege, no spots or pattern on it. and was sticking his tongue out at him all the time. tongue was black . lol.
being from iowa we dont know all these snakes here in the south can someone please help us out by possibly identifing it.
Can't be positive without a visual, but most likely an eastern worm snake, Carphophis amoenus. Did your dad see its belly? If so, was it pink?

Southeastern Venomous Snakes
Sounds like the best candidate Greg.
The good news is it's harmless.
