I found this little one herping in thr Santa Cruz mountains this week:

Third Eye

nice!
I know I've said this before but I just love the color on those southern and western subspecies. I just found my first snakes of the year a couple days ago but nothing relevant to the small terrestrial snake board yet

Finally! It's a Northern Ring-necked Snake found in VT. I've seen a few Gartersnakes over the past two weeks but this was my first non-garter of the year. I also saw Racers, Garters, and Red-bellied Snakes that day.

It has been years since the last ringneck I have seen here.

That's a nice looking specimen.
