Only for magnification:o....this little guy was only 6 inches long and smaller than a pencil in diameter....about the size of a large earthworm. I picked him up to pose him a few times and he didn't even try to bite me....as I said he was very docile....maybe just out from hibernation and kinda sluggish.Quote:

Count me in with Indiana Jones.
Ring-necked Snake (Diadophis punctatus). Cool little snakes. They do not get much bigger than a foot long. I found over 20 under a piece of tin last fall...along with five Copperheads.Quote:
