Ring-neck Snake
Return to Marian's Site page
I moved a pot and this pretty little creature was underneath. He was about 10 inches long.

Unfortunately, when I moved the pot he was fatally injured. He was alive when I took these photos and I moved him to a sheltered spot and hoped he would recover, but he had gone on to reptile heaven the next day.

The jury returned a verdict of Accidental Herpicide and sentenced me to 100 hours of snake-community service. I am to give speeches at the local snake schools, warning little slitherers of the danger of remaining under a pot when other nearby pots have just been moved.
