Ringneck Snake (Diadophis punctatus)
Common throughout eastern and central North America, and found elsewhere where the climate is not too arid. Thrive in a variety of habitats. Prey upon small salamanders, lizards, and frogs, as well as earthworms and juvenile snakes of other species.
Ringneck snakes don't tend to bite and are never large enough to do any damage if they did.
First snake of 2008. CHECK
(Or, am I not allowed to count this one because I handled it?)
