THE WILD-MAN'S WILD FRIENDS VIDEO SERIES - EPISODE 16 – BROWN SNAKE

in #wild-man8 years ago

This is American Brown Snake, not the Australian one.


Though it has the same common name as the extremely venomous snake from Australia, this one happens to be different. The Brown Snake (Storeria dekayi) AKA De Kay's Snake is a small snake native to North America. It took me about 18 years to see my first one in the wild and another decade to find more up in Wisconsin.

Lately, down in Arkansas, I have been encountering them more regularly. They remind me of another small nonvenomous snake called the Red-Bellied Snake, but these lack the red belly.

For the most part, they eat worms and slugs, and although they have been known to grow to almost 20 inches long, most of the ones I encounter are 10 inches of less.

The information is the video is original but I did have a quick refresher from this source.
