Herp ID Help: 3

I usually first see these pictures on my phone. It is fairly easy to identify the animal most of the time, even on the small screen. Sometimes I have to look a little harder or pull it up on a computer screen.

Most of the images are accompanied by concern that a rattlesnake is in their home.

Eastern Milk Snake Lampropeltis triangulum

This one intially looked a little like a northern watersnake on my small phone screen. What did you first think?

Herp ID Help: 1

I get a number of pictures emailed to me every year from people all over Ohio and Michigan. I decided to start sharing some of these to the rest of my readers as well. You will find a number of "frequent flyers" continue to puzzle interested folk all over.

This snake was photographed in Michigan the first week in November. I hope it made it down for the winter shortly after the photoshoot.

Unfortunately, as winter is upon us I have a bunch more of these to try and keep us occupied.

Happy Herping,
