Hi!
We caught this snake today and it was about 10" = 1 foot long. It was caught in Sussex County Delaware (Milton) I have a bunch of pictures if you need more. Thank you SO MUCH!!!

The image link you used is not publicly available (you're probably the only one who can see it).

Hey Larry - thanks for the reply. Is there a way I can email it to someone? I am not sure how to attach a picture because there is no "browse" button for me to upload the photo to.

The easiest way is to save the photo to the photo gallery (by clicking on the "photos" button right up top) and then attach the pic inside your post. I'm in Wilmington, by the way.

Awesome! Thank you! 
I posted it earlier and hope it attaches again to this. Thank you again!

That's a nice little harmless Eastern Hognose(Heterodon platirhinos). They have a HUGE range throughout the entire eastern half of the country.

Yep! To the uninitiated, that snake really looks dangerous, but in fact, unless you smell like a toad, it won't bite. In the case of this snake, a picture is better than a thousand words of description.
